step outside yourself, be an empathetic reader. I loved the "zigzag" journey this novel took me on

Start from live with her depressed mother that consume her with her mother swing mood, Nicola decides to leave home and fit in her new life. In London She needs to live independently with her little income. She meet with new people and get along with them through her journey. Then she finds out that people are not always what they seem.

This book was an interesting story that tells about the journey of teenage years. We dragged into her story through bad and good experience with some flashback from her childhood and younger life.

Thanks to the author and Netgalley for the opportunity in exchange for a honest review.

"The Zigzag Road to Happy" by Anita Heavens is a novel about the adventures of a teenager named Nicola in London. Nicola's story is really her trying to find happy in life whether it be friends, boyfriends, or what ever else that she wants to try. Her life is not that of a wealthy high society girl its that of a poor girl from a dysfunctional family. Her story does take turns that you expect but then portions you don't. It was good book but just had some very slow points for me which is why it took me awhile to read it. I recommend it but be warned for me at least there was a few slow points that took me awhile to get through.

I was given this book from NetGalley for free and was not required to give a positive review.
