If It Makes You Happy is a warm, charming small-town romance that instantly pulls you in. The story follows a woman trying to rebuild her life after a divorce, taking over her mom’s bed and breakfast in Copper Run, Vermont. Enter Cliff, her seemingly perfect next-door neighbor—a single dad, small-town golden boy, and an undeniably charming baker. From the moment their paths cross, the chemistry between them is palpable, and it’s impossible not to root for their slow-burning connection.
What makes this story so delightful is how real the characters feel. Cliff isn’t just a handsome love interest; he’s patient, kind, and genuinely caring, while the protagonist’s insecurities, humor, and desire to make sense of her next steps make her utterly relatable. Their interactions—whether awkward, funny, or tender—are filled with a natural charm that makes every moment feel heartfelt.
Julie Olivia balances romance, humor, and small-town cozy vibes beautifully. If It Makes You Happy is about taking chances, learning to trust again, and discovering that happiness can appear in the most unexpected places—sometimes right next door. It’s the kind of story that makes you smile, swoon, and wish you could move to Copper Run yourself.
