About this listen

A deeply moving, wildly uplifting tale of two strangers with nothing to lose and an unlikely friendship that will grab hold of your heart and never let go.

Annie's heart can't be broken - or so she thinks. After a series of tragic events tore a hole through the perfect life she'd built, there's nothing left to break. Jaded and alone, she's been sleepwalking through life, with a boring job, an irritating roommate, and a serious binge-watching addiction. But she's okay with that - if you've lost everything, you've got nothing to lose, right?

Polly is everything Annie doesn't need in her life - or so she thinks. But Polly is determined to finally wake Annie up to life. Because if having a terminal illness has taught Polly anything, it's that time is short. Too short to waste a single day, which is precisely why she wants Annie to join her on a mission.

One hundred days. One hundred happy things. Annie's convinced it's impossible, but so is saying no to Polly. Now Annie's doing things, and saying things, and feeling things she hasn't felt in a very long while - if ever. Polly's convinced dancing in fountains and riding on roller coasters could heal Annie's shattered heart. But how can she possibly find happiness when letting people in means opening herself to more heartache?

I avoided this book for a year. My best friend died a year ago, and 6 days. I wasn’t ready. Then, at the year mark, I gave it a go and I am so glad I did. It was so validating and healing. Thank you to the author for writing this. I
Highly recommend.

We all need to take a breath sometimes and remember that it is up to us to be happy. I loved the characters in the story and the message. Always appreciate a great Scottish accent as well. Read this book even if you are jaded about stories that seem sappy. It will do you good and may even put a smile on your face, just like the Dr. ordered.

Everyone needs a reminder

This story is a great reminder to live every day and make a choice to do things that bring you and others joy.

As a bonus, the narrator is wonderfully talented and brought each unforgettable character to life. For that alone I would say you can’t go wrong by downloading this one.

Great story, talented narrator

This was a great listen. Thanks to a friend who shared. Great reminder of why we should live each day as though it is our last and stop sweating the little things that make us unhappy.

Great listen. Very inspiring.

This story reads like a rom-com. Very expected and cliched but the characters are well rounded enough to care about. Not a waste of time and very well performed by the narrator (aside from the Greek guy).

A bit cliche but a feel good nonetheless

The story line started slow and very intriguing but the title is well suited. The relationship between the main characters went on a journey together to make their days a bit more pleasant and ended up finding “something like happy”.

Revetting....I love it. Great read.
