Excerpt
“And who do we have here?” she murmurs. Harris’ head snaps up and he twists his body around, his expressive gray eyes filled with confusion. Somehow, I speak up. “I’ve come to collect my things. I’m moving out.” “Edith.” The word comes out on a defeated exhale. With a beseeching gaze, Harris stands up and takes a halting step toward us, then pauses, shoving his hands into his jean pockets. “Good,” Claire says with a faux smile on her face. “But won’t you introduce us to your handsome friend?” My dad clears his throat. “I’m Ed’s father. We’ll be out of your way shortly.” He angles backward to look at me. “Go ahead,” he tells me like he wants me to leave the room. What could he possibly need to say to them? “Little mouse never told me the daddy that doesn’t love her is a hottie.” A rumbling noise escapes from Harris. “Claire!” he snaps. Did she really just say that? Now my anxiety is falling behind a very different, raw emotion—fury. “Look, Claire.” I release the suitcase in my hand and skirt around my father, moving closer to the couch. My eyes stay on her, ignoring everything else in the room. If I don’t focus on my resentment toward Claire, I might unwittingly reveal my broken heart. That’s not why I came here. “I can’t live with the lies and the games anymore. This place is unhealthy for me, and I’m not going to let you manipulate me anymore. I want to move out and move on. Could you just tell me what I owe you?” “Move out and move on.” Claire pulls a face as she mimics my words. “Ed,” my dad snaps, drawing my attention away from Claire. “Get started. I’ll handle the rest.” “Dad—” “Go.” His uses a razor-sharp tone, leaving no room for argument. With my marching orders, my eyes flicker to Harris. He clenches his fists, and wears a mask of thunder directed at his sister. Where was that anger yesterday?

Review ★★★★ stars
I am so glad I had Of Happiness available to read right after I finished In Pursuit! Otherwise, the wait would have been agonizing especially since I didn't see a number of twists at the end coming. I'm going to try really hard not to give anything away because you really have to read the book in order to get the full experience.
Hopefully we've established how shocked I was at the end of In Pursuit. When I started Of Happiness, I was expecting high octane drama and I got it. I was astonished by some of the revelations in this book! Especially those regarding Claire! Once again Olivia Luck, the author, lulled me into a false sense of security and then threw me into a tailspin with baring of secrets and events.
Harris really came through for me in this book. I mean, I went from liking him in the previous book, to being WTF!, and then coming to understand his bizarre behavior to back to liking him. I enjoyed seeing him open up to Eddie. Speaking of Eddie, I loved seeing her be more secure in her self. It's like this Eddie was the new and improved version, Eddie 2.0 or the like. I adored her. There's nothing like a strong female character.
Of the two books in this series, I can definitely say I enjoyed this one more. I am eager to see what Olivia Luck writes next because she's improved with each book and I can only see her getting better.
