Publisher's summary

“Funny, moving... I defy anyone to finish this story without tears in their eyes.” (Graeme Simsion, best-selling author of The Rosie Project)

What would you do if you knew you only had 100 days left to live? For Lucio Battistini, it’s a chance to spend the rest of his life the way he always should have - by making every moment count.

Imperfect, unfaithful, but loveable Lucio has been thrown out of the house by his wife and is sleeping at his father-in-law’s bombolini bakery when he learns he has inoperable cancer. So begin the last 100 days of Lucio’s life, as he attempts to right his wrongs, win back his wife (the love of his life and afterlife), and spend the next three months enjoying every moment with a zest he hasn’t felt in years. In 100 epigrammatic chapters - one for each of Lucio’s remaining days on earth - 100 Days of Happiness is as delicious as a hot doughnut and a morning cappuccino.

Wistful, touching, and often hilarious, 100 Days of Happiness reminds us all to remember the preciousness of life and what matters most.

"Depressing? No. Uplifting? Yes. Funny? Often. Although it’s a countdown to death, this story is a celebration of life. Grab a doughnut and treat yourself to a good read." (Hudson Valley News)

Could not finish

I couldn’t get past the misogyny of this man justifying his cheating in his wife. If that wasn’t bad enough, the father-in-law fakes his support of his daughter only to tell the son in law he sided with him he was just dumb to admit the affair. I can’t trust any pearls of wisdom from this man from that point on. Wish I could return this book.
