A jewel of romantic comedy * New York Times *
Uplifting, funny, generous and perspicacious (especially about love), Happy all the Time is one of the most comforting, clever novels I know -- Samantha Ellis
Delicious with much wit ... author and reader have the greatest fun * Sunday Telegraph *
Rare and charming ... refreshingly soothing * Company *
Laurie Colwin was the best kind of master: human and humorous, full of wisdom and love. When am I happy all the time? When I have a stack of Laurie Colwin books beside me -- Emma Straub
Shimmering ... funny... it made everything in my life seem a whole lot better * Cosmopolitan *
Amazing! Impossible to put down ... sharply funny, altogether unusual. I recommend it highly * Newsweek *
A funny, loving, celebratory book ... in which everything is perfect * Boston Globe *
Merry and bright and tender ... written in exquisitely balanced sentences that taste just right. Comparison with Jane Austen is not out of order * New York Post *
The cleverly curated new W&N Essentials range launches with Happy All The Time by Laurie Colwin. This sparkling and witty romantic comedy of manners... is like literary serotonin. -- Charlotte Heathcote * SUNDAY EXPRESS S MAGAZINE *
A pleasure ... endless surprises and ultimately boundless joy ... It would be difficult not to enjoy it all * New Yorker *
it abounds in good lines, aphorisms, advice to both the loved and the lovelorn * New York Times *
An elegant, fresh, funny tale of four people in love ... There's electricity here ... Pure delight * Village Voice *
Colwin's canny Manhattan pastorale strikes me as at least as much fun to read as Sense and Sensibility * Newsweek *
