Told with warmth and wit, I Wish You Happy explores the sometimes-dark complexity of relationships, the transformative power of friendship--and the magic of hope.Rescuing abandoned animals is easier for Rae than attempting relationships with people. According to her therapist, she lacks a dimmer switch--her energy is either full-intensity on or off. Lately, she's been opting for off.But the switch flips back on when Rae's car collides with a cyclist, leaving the rider fighting for her life. After discovering the crash was a suicide attempt, Rae invites the victim--emotionally and physically fragile Kat--into her home. Soon, Rae finds herself opening up, not just to friendship but also to the possibility of love with Cole, the crisis worker assigned to Kat's case.However, Kat's pain threatens to overshadow Rae as their codependent friendship deepens. When disaster strikes again, Rae is desperate to help Kat heal, but the plan backfires, putting at risk Rae's tenuous connections and forcing her to confront the most difficult challenge of all--embracing her own happiness.

Well, let me tell you about this movie I just saw called “I Wish You Happy.” It’s about a girl who feels everything, like an empath. She gets tangled up with some chick on a bike. Then there’s this gorgeous hunk of a man who may be the one who can breach the walls around her heart. And then there are these adorable newborn kittens just waiting for someone to love them…
Ok, too cheesy?? Maybe. But seriously, this story transported me to a comfy, cushiony seat at the local movie theater. I could almost smell the buttery over-priced popcorn.
On the serious side, the words in this book have come together perfectly to craft a story of life’s uncertainties. The state of one’s mental health is fluid. We all have our good days and bad days. Some people are able to work through their bad days with instinctual coping mechanisms. Others need the help of others through counselling and medication. Then there are those who have reached rock bottom. Society is becoming more aware of the vastness of mental instability but hasn’t yet learned to read the signs of those desperate souls. The indicators may be as subtle as a minute shift in habit or personality, or as obvious as buying a gun or simply disappearing within themselves. Help is available. If living in the now is too difficult, try living for the promise of a better tomorrow. Suicide is never the answer. ( )
