The Theory of happily ever after

 By Kristin Billerbeck

According to Dr. Maggie McGuire, happiness is serious --

Serious science, But science can't always account for life's anomalies, like why her fiance dumped her for a silk-scarf Acrobat and how the breakup sent Maggie spiraling into an extended ice cream-fueled Chick flick binge .

Concerned that she might never pull herself out of the nosedive, Maggie's friends book her as a speaker on a "New Year, New You" cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Maggie wonders if she's qualified to teach others about happiness when she can't muster up any for herself . But when a handsome stranger on board insists that smart women can't ever be happy, Maggie sets out to prove him wong. Along the way she may discover that happiness has far less to do with the head than the heart.

I liked the idea of her friends trying to get her out of the eating ice cream and Chick flick binge.  I felt they were helpful in ways and not in others which I will mention in the dislikes section .

                          -------dislike--------

When Maggie got on the boat talking to the stranger I feel her friends should have backed off and let Maggie talk with the guy instead of meddling in her business . I feel a little that Maggie's friends did it for there own satisfaction.
