Publisher's Summary
In the coastal town of Dufferin Beach, Katy Kiss wants more from life than flinging food in her family's Hungarian restaurant. She's searching for the hope she had as a child when her immigrant grandmother would pinch her cheek and say, "go finding your happily."
But Katy isn't feeling the hope with her philandering husband, who communicates in angry emojis now that their marriage is headed to divorce court. And if she's being honest, even on her wedding day, the only thing she felt was queasy, like when you eat bad shrimp.
Therapy might get her closer to feeling happy, but surviving 50 minutes of psychological interrogation is hard without obsessing about raspberry donuts or wondering why the couch, carpet, and wall color in her shrink's office are all the same shade of kill-me-now-beige, and why every decision she makes is wrong.
When a crisis sends her far away from home, the secrets hidden in the Kiss family closet begin spilling out. Secrets that change everything Katy knows. Suddenly, finding happily is the last thing on her mind.
