The Pursuit of Happiness
The Pursuit of Happiness: A Novel | Douglas Kennedy
5 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Manhattan, Thanksgiving eve, 1945. The war is over, and Eric Smythes party was in full swing. All his clever Greenwich Village friends were there. So too was his sister Sara, an independent, outspoken young woman, starting to make her way in the big city. And then in walked Jack Malone, a U.S. Army journalist just back from a defeated Germany, a man whose world view was vastly different than that of Eric and his friends. This chance meeting between Sara and Jack and the choices they both made in the wake of it would eventually have profound consequences, both for themselves and for those closest to them for decades afterwards. Set amidst the dynamic optimism of postwar New York and the subsequent nightmare of the McCarthy era, The Pursuit of Happiness is a great, tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices and the random workings of destiny.

1)People who don‘t understand simple concepts.
2)CAKE ALL THE WAY. (Though, I feel like I‘m betraying my fictional husband Dean Winchester... Eh, he‘ll live 🤪🤪)
3) Tiger (what was I thinking?🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. Juvenile tendencies 🙄🙄🙄)
4) Romance (WHY is this even a genre? Unobtainable, unrealistic ideas of love. Need I say more?)
5) Sending love to all the pessimists, Negative Nellies and Debby Downers... You guys don‘t get enough love!

1) Stephen King (He would most probably hunt me and write a bestselling thriller about it. I wouldn‘t mind because I‘d be more useful in that scenario in comparison to right now)
2)James Bay ❤️❤️❤️ (No questions asked)
3) W H I S K E Y (Ain‘t nothing better than a bottle of Jack! Weeeelllll, maybe an infinite amount of bottles of Jack would be better than A singular bottle of Jack🤔🤔🤔🤔) @GarthRanzz
