Description (from the publisher):
Holly Frick has just endured the worst kind of breakup: the kind where you're still in love with the person leaving you. While her wounds are still dangerously close to the surface, her happily married best friend confesses over a bottle of wine that she is this close to having an affair. And another woman comes to Holly for advice about her love life--with Holly's ex!
Holly decides that if everyone around her can take pleasure wherever they find it, so will she. As any self-respecting 30ish New York woman would do, she brings two males into her life: a flawed but endearing dog, and a good natured, much younger lover. She's soon entangled in a web of emails, chance meetings, and misguided good intentions and must forge an entirely new path to Nirvana.
From the author of The Big Love, Secrets to Happiness is a big-hearted, knife-sharp, and hilariously entertaining story about the perils of love and friendship, sex and betrayal--and a thoroughly modern take on our struggle to be happy.

Like many, I really like the dog on the cover. It sounds like Dunn has written a good chick lit novel, with a bit of humor too. Thanks for the info and chance to win.

Finding love can be a difficult thing. Sometimes keeping it can be as difficult. Society is much more open about relationships today than it was even 10 years ago. Can't say I would take the route she has chosen. If nothing else, the dog can be relied upon to love her unconditionally. Sometimes, that is all we need to pull ourselves together.

This cover looks sweet. I always like to judge books by the covers, it doesn't always match up but sometimes it does and I have found that when there are animals there it usually does. Thanks for the chance to win this one. ybutler@oppcatv.com
