The Happy Accidents: when a night of mistakes can turn your life around

The Happy Accidents by Jamie Beck is a story of friendship, love and finding fulfillment in the most unusual way. All Jessie Clarke wanted was a wild adventure to celebrate her upcoming 37th birthday. Her sister, Lizzie, and their friend, Chloe, agree to the birthday pact for one wild night. What a wild night it was! The next morning, they wake up to shocking consequences. A viral video throws Liz’s career in broadcast news and reputation into a downward spiral. Chloe loses at the craps table that threatens her seemingly solid marriage. She realizes that she wants something more. Jessie is desperate to unlock her artistic muse which leaves her with lift-changing choices. Each woman is at a crossroads, the choice they must make will test everything they know and love. Will their misadventure be a curse or a blessing in disguise? 

What could go wrong with a girls night out right? A lot as Jessie, Liz and Chloe find out. The story started off rough as I wasn’t sure if I cared for or could relate to any of these women. But I stuck with it and by the end, I could appreciate their growth even though I could not relate to them. I enjoyed seeing the growth in the supporting characters as well. More often than not, the consequences of our choices affect those around us as well as ourselves. It was refreshing to see that Jessie, Liz and Chloe not only changed for the better but also those in their inner circle, even resulting in closer relationships than before. Overall, I enjoyed following the aftermath of their misadventures and see them better for it. I recommend The Happy Accidents

The Happy Accidents is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
