Katelyn Smith
This is for when you want a book with a happy ending, not TOO much plot strife, or just something that you feel good reading.
Okay but why did I feel like I could open my own brewery after reading this? (PS I don't even like beer).
The Lager Queen of Minnesota: A Novel
This definitely has hard moments, but just so many lovely ones. Definitely a smile and read for me.
The Correspondent: A Novel
When you think life sucks, look around you at all of the wonderful/crazy/amazing people in this world!
The Wedding People: A Novel
Probably some smiling AND crying. Found family gets me every time.
The Emperor of Gladness: Oprah's Book Club: A Novel
T.J. Klune can be pretty reliable for a smile while reading book. This was so sweet.
Under the Whispering Door
You'll be smiling, you may shed some tears, but overall - smiling.
Remarkably Bright Creatures: A Novel
Maybe this isn't the smiliest novel ever, but it made me smile. I just really love Kevin Wilson and his writing.
Now Is Not the Time to Panic: A Novel
Hot Take: This was one of Emily Henry's best books AND the movie was cute.
People We Meet on Vacation
Another of my favorite Henry books.
