Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-16 00:00:00 Dana Oake Happy Now? is one of the best books I've read this summer. Katherine Shonk is a beautiful writer and can take a subject as tragic as suicide and turn it into a humorous tale. The story takes place in Chicago and the northern suburbs. Claire Kessler is a thirty-something artist who marries an ambitious college professor (at Northwestern, but the university is never named). Just before their second wedding anniversary, Claire's husband Jay commmits suicide--on Valentine's Day. The book chronicles Claire's coming to terms with her marriage and why her husband chose to check out so early in life. Everyone seems to think he/she knows what's best for Claire, but she's determined to deal with her 'incident', as she calls it, on her own terms.
