Chasing Happy

Have you ever had to choose between a relationship and something you’ve dreamed about your whole life?

That is the dilemma twenty-three-year-old Kieran Taylor unexpectedly finds herself in, and she’s not entirely sure how she got there. Deep down she knows that her violent and controlling boyfriend, Darren, is not the one for her and she quickly regrets her decision to live with him. Trapped in a dead-end job and a dead-end relationship, Kieran finds temporary solace in the arms of her first love, Joshua, who reappears after five years, though his return reopens old wounds. She recognizes that while she may be ready to move on from Darren, Joshua may not be the right choice for her either.

Confused and determined to be free of her painful past and pitiful present, Kieran goes on holiday to Greece where she meets the tall, dark and handsome Romeo. Unable to resist the temptation of romance and adventure, Kieran allows this perfect stranger to sweep her off her unsuspecting feet. Romeo, however, is not all he portrays and learning the truth leads Kieran on a downward spiral of destruction. One big secret leads to an even bigger heartbreak - one she did not see coming, and it changes her life forever.

Chasing Happy, is an engrossing tale replete with emotion and real life issues. It deals with the different elements of friendship and relationships - good, bad, funny and sad. It further explores the struggle between right and wrong and the mess you can find yourself in when you settle for less. I think a lot of women will relate to the characters and ideas explored in this story.

Chasing Happy is ultimately a story about the struggle for independence, love, and most importantly, true happiness.
