SO HAPPY TOGETHER by Deborah K. Shepherd - Review & Giveaway

 


Deborah K. Shepherd's novel, SO HAPPY TOGETHER (SheWritesPress) starts in the 60s.
College student, Caro is all into sex, drugs and rock 'n roll! But then readers are with Caro in 1987, where she's married and the mother of three children in Westport, Connecticut. Her marriage is falling apart, she misses her creative self as a playwright and she can't stop thinking about Peter, who was the love of her life twenty years ago. Caro has a nightmare about Peter and takes it as a sign to drive 1,537 miles to see Peter in North Dakota. This is before Facebook and cellphones, so she doesn't even know if he's alive. Her three children, Greg, Sarah and Caleb are off to camp for two months, so this is her opportunity to leave her husband, Jack. He doesn't even know she leaving until she's gone.

SO HAPPY TOGETHER is a book full of life, yearning and the willingness to try. It's about believing in your soul and taking chances to fulfill your hearts desires. Shepherd does an amazing job creating two very different times in America, When she's in the 60s, we are there right next to Caro and its all about change into the 80s. But then something happens. Characters are fully realized and we see part of ourselves in them. Whether its fear of the truth or taking second chances, we recognize ourselves. SO HAPPY TOGETHER is complicated and full of love. I hope readers enjoy it as much as I did.

  6. I think that second chances are so important and should often be afforded. Unfortunately, they can't be given to everyone, nor does everyone deserve them. If you can get out of a bad situation, do so and do NOT go back. Believe me, it's hard to get out. However, your safety and that of your children is paramount.
