Review
This is a perfect book for vacation! It’s cute, funny, with a sweet romance and a wonderful story! (Also I just really love cruise books!)
This book is about Dr. Maggie Maguire, a brilliant scientist studying happiness. But she’s feeling less brilliant when her fiance leaves her for a silk acrobat. So when her friends drag her on a cruise, she thinks maybe it’s time to rethink her happiness book. And what better way than to maybe find love on this singles cruise! Except her love interest is grumpy and doesn’t believe in her work… Time to prove him wrong!
This book is sooooo cute! I loved the story and I think it’s such a fun read! I will say the friends in the book are totally horrible! (That might be my only complaint) But other than that, the book is such a good read and one I totally suggest to ladies 16 and up! There is mention of alcohol in the book. But the characters never drink anything. (It’s just mentioned)
Overall, this is a great book and one I am obsessed with!!!!! If you are looking for a great vacation read, this is the book for you! Happy Reading!!!! -The Young Llama Reader.

According to Dr. Maggie Maguire, happiness is serious science, as serious as Maggie takes herself. But science can’t always account for life’s anomalies–for instance, why her fiancé dumped her for a silk-scarf acrobat and how the breakup sent Maggie spiraling into an extended ice cream-fueled chick flick binge.
Concerned that she might never pull herself out of this nosedive, Maggie’s friends book her as a speaker on a “New Year, New You” cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Maggie wonders if she’s qualified to teach others about happiness when she can’t muster up any for herself. But when a handsome stranger on board insists that smart women can’t ever be happy, Maggie sets out to prove him wrong. Along the way she may discover that happiness has far less to do with the head than with the heart.
Filled with memorable characters, snappy dialogue, and touching romance, Kristin Billerbeck’s The Theory of Happily Ever After shows that the search for happiness may be futile–because sometimes happiness is already out there searching for you.
