The happy life of Isadora Bentley [large print] / Courtney Walsh.

Summary:

"Isadora Bentley believes that happiness is something that flat-out doesn't exist in her life -- and never will. As a university researcher, Isadora keeps to herself as much as possible. She avoids the students she's supposed to befriend and mentor. She lives her own quiet, organized life in her own quiet, organized apartment. And she will never get involved in a romantic relationship again -- especially with another academic. It will be just Isadora and her research. Forever. But on her thirtieth birthday, Isadora does something completely out of character. She makes an impulse purchase of a magazine featuring a silly article detailing Thirty-One Ways to Be Happy -- which includes everything from smiling at strangers to giving in to your chocolate cravings. Isadora decides to create her own secret research project -- proving the writer of the ridiculous piece wrong. As Isadora gets deeper into her research -- and meets a handsome professor along the way -- she's stunned to discover that maybe, just maybe, she's proving herself wrong. Perhaps there's something to be said for loosening up and letting life take you somewhere . . . happy."-- Provided by publisher.
