Happy All the Time by Laurie Colwin

A luminous telling of two modern romances, a book that lingers sweetly and hilariously in the memory. --Dallas Morning News

Guido and Vincent are childhood best friends--third cousins, really--living in Cambridge and dreaming about their futures. Guido plans to write poetry while Vincent feels confident he will win a Nobel prize for physics. When Guido spots Holly while exiting a museum, he can immediately sense that she will difficult, quirky, and hard to live with. He loves her on sight. Vincent, open-minded and cheerful, meets Misty at work. Though she is a bored and misanthropic brunette, he finds himself desperate to know her.

Through courtship, jealousy, estrangement, and other perils, Happy All the Time follows four sane, intelligent, and good-intentioned people who manage to find love in spite of themselves.

Laurie Colwin has written five novels: Happy All the Time, Family Happiness, Farewell Without Leaving, Shine On, Brilliant and Dangerous Object, and A Great Storm Knocked It Down; three collections of short stories: Passion and Affect, Another Wonderful Thing, and The Lone Pilgrim; and two collections of essays: Home Cooking and More Home Cooking. In 1992, she passed away.
