4 stars ⭐️ 

I really loved the idea of this book! I found a lot of things that were really cute, and I definitely find happiness in them! Other things that were listed felt random. Almost if the author needed items to fill in space. However, everyone finds happiness in different things. I made a list of both the cute ones and the weirder ones.

💕Cute ones💕 
A wall of books 
Stars Hollow, Connecticut, the setting of Gilmore Girls 
Pink lemonade 
Cowboy boots 
Squirrels with the bushiest tails 
Cats sitting in the sun or by heating vents
Fettuccine Alfredo
Brownies with no nuts 
Hearing “your song” 
A price sticker that peels off completely 
Someone who says you’re beautiful 
An “I miss you” note 
Everything spelled correctly in the book you’re reading (YESSSSS) 

🤨Weird ones🤨
Funny toes 
Admitting you were wrong (I’m sorry, but this doesn’t make me too happy💀) 
Worcestershire sauce 
Golf clubs 
Attic junk 
Toe nail clippers 
Graph paper
All-purpose flour
Bar napkins 
Waiting rooms 
Bozo the clown
