For a delightful escape, pick up Happy Endings by Melanie Cantor, a witty and thought-provoking novel. This British author's debut is filled with warmth and hope.
When Jennifer Cole is told she has three months left to live, she knows her life is fcked. With nothing to lose, she decides it's time to admit to everything she's always longed to say but never dared. She writes three letters: one to her overbearing, selfish sister, one to her spineless, cheating ex-husband, the third to her charming but unreliable ex-boyfriend. At first it feels great to have finally found her voice. But as things start to unravel, she discovers that the truth has its own consequences...
Previously published as both Death and Other Happy Endings and Life and Other Happy Endings.
Melanie Cantor worked for many years in PR and as a celebrity talent agent.
