Happy Hour is just one of those great novels that come along that have you up late turning the pages. A group of women who gather together to share friendship, ups and downs of life, laughter and tears.
There is Jamie, a woman who was living the dream until her husband's cancer came back. Now, she's the editor-in-chief at a wine lover's magazine, raising her daughter on her own, as well as caring for her elderly mother-in-law.
Danielle, whose husband divorces her after twenty years of marriage. She has one daughter in college, one still at home, but she decides to pursue her lifelong dream of winemaking, a dream her ex-husband had mocked.
Alyssa, a beautiful woman who owns a gallery but is also an artist. She is living a wonderful life until an event from her past catches up to her future.
Then there is Kat, when recently divorced was looking for a job, and she found Christian's. She is the Sommilier and her and Christian hit it off instantly. They marry and they work together and raise a passel of children.
Though ups and downs, laughter and joy, tears and tradegy, the women meet every other Sunday for their Happy Hour. A time they try new wines, gourmet food and share their lives and offer advice and understanding.
The characters of Happy Hour are well-developed and realistic. Their troubles are tangible and relatable to the reader and the writing is smooth, the pages flowing like water. I loved Happy Hour and I'm sure if you enjoy Women's Fiction, you will too. Two thumbs up!
