5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous romance with a twisty plot!

Feeling fed up with February? Let Laura Danks’ romance, ‘Which Way to Happiness’, whisk you away to Boston, Paris & Milan for a fabulous love story. The plot is deliciously twisty and I loved feisty, stubborn career girl, Liz Walsh. It's also great to find a hero, Hudson - equally stubborn and who's been steering clear of LTR's - who is kind and warm-hearted too. Will Liz and Hudson ever get it together? Only one way to find out. This one gets 5 stars from me!

4.0 out of 5 stars great story
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021
I enjoyed this romance story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to see what is next for her. This is a well developed story that has characters that make the story pop off the pages. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning. The characters are connectable and made the story fun and easy to read. I highly recommend this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars So-so romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021
Sadly, I cannot recommend this book. I felt that most of the story was totally unrealistic and the two main characters were not particularly believable. I did like that the romance focused on people around the age of 40, rather than in their 20s, as is so often the case. The mix of British-isms and American-isms was very distracting. (Example: there are no “lorries” in Boston, only “trucks”.)

Thank you to Pigeonhole, a service where you get the book in serialized form, one section at a time, over the course of several days. All opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and fast-paced read!

Set in the world of commercial interior design and focusing on career-driven Liz, this is a fun, well-written novel about the age-old question, can women have it all? In this case, it's a choice between a high-powered, demanding career and love.

I particularly liked learning more about the interior design business as a backdrop for Liz and Hudson's will-they, won't-they romance. As someone who loves to escape to different places through fiction, I also loved the use of different destinations from Milan to New York to bring the story to life.

This is a really enjoyable read with some unexpected depth, as it explores interesting questions that many women today face.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fresh take on an age-old dilemma
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2021

In her second novel, Which Way to Happiness, Laura Danks gives us another heart-warming contemporary story, set to appeal to readers of Jill Mansell and Sophie Kinsella. Much like her 2018 debut, Almost Forever, there is a deceptive lightness to the overarching storyline which conceals an intelligent and still pertinent debate about the difficult decisions faced by modern women.
Liz is a hugely talented interior designer, continuously overlooked for promotion by her male boss, but beholden to loyalty due to a family connection. When his illness gives her the opportunity to take over the reins of a prestigious contract, she finally sees the opportunity to prove her worth. What she doesn’t bank on is falling for the CEO of the company, the ubiquitously gorgeous Hudson. The attraction is mutual, but what begins as a recogniseable template for romance novels, cleverly transforms into a deeper examination of workplace and gender politics.
Beyond the rich, successful Hudson, his good-natured but slightly bumbling accountant Tom and the arrogant business magnate Malone is a story about male privilege and entitlement which has allowed them to rise to their positions unimpeded, whilst in the background the hidden figures of wives and assistants keep the show running with ruthless efficiency. There is something pleasingly satirical about Dank’s tone in these pages which transmits the grenade of Liz’s quest for success and recognition with subtle efficiency. The question of whether she can have both love and a career - often presented to women as an either/or proposition - is tackled here with an engaging energy and backed up, as the novel progresses, with a convincing argument for female agency.
What keeps the story both measured and satisfying is how choice is maintained as the operative word. Rather than a heavy-handed diatribe about what women should want to be, Danks gives us a number of interesting female characters all making their own decisions about what constitutes happiness.
It was this which stood out as the book’s strength, along with the particularly modern conundrum over the increasing mechanisation of our world. In a society where everything can be done quicker, faster and cheaper by computers, the novel asks, is there a danger of losing the particular human touch that makes us individuals? The novel’s backdrop of the perfectly imperfect historic architecture of London, Paris and Milan strengthens this idea, as do the two central characters of Liz and Hudson. Both mired in their respectively entrenched fears and beliefs about commitment, have they lost the ability to connect on that most primal of human levels? There’s something charming about the naivete of their attraction, something which other reviewers have commented on as being unrealistic or not age appropriate, but which worked for me as an exploration of two people rediscovering the joy of connection after years of denying themselves the risk of failure.
Dank’s confident, readable prose made this a quick, refreshing read which nonetheless repays more attention than some of its readers give it credit for.

I really enjoyed Which Way to Happiness? What a great read!
I was looking for something to take me away from the current situation, and this book really did it. From Boston to Paris and Milan to Ireland, Which Way to Happiness takes you on a whirlwind adventure with that wonderful, will they, won't they sizzle, that's impossible not to love.
I thought the main character being a nearing 40 business woman and not a twenty something was enlightened. The fact that she had to make choices about her personal life and her career gave it such a current feel.
A romantic read, but also a page turner with twists!
Thoroughly recommend

A fun modern romance which lightly explores the difficult juggling act between work and relationships. In these lockdown times, I especially appreciated the vicarious pleasure of exciting trips to Paris and Milan!
