Good Joy, Bad Joy (Hardcover) by Mikki Brammer

"Uplifting, charming, and wonderful, it will make you call your oldest friend to say 'I love you, I’m so glad you’re alive, and also, please read this book.'" ―Annie Hartnett, author of The Road to Tender Hearts

From the bestselling author of The Collected Regrets of Clover comes a vibrant, heartfelt novel about friendship over the decades, self-discovery, and what it means to have a life well-lived.

Break the rules. Find your joy.

For over eighty years, Joy Bridport has played by the rules: she's been a devoted wife and mother, contributing to the community in her small Hudson Valley town. But her quiet existence is jolted when she learns that her best friend, Hazel, only has months left to live. Hazel has always been the more adventurous one of their duo, and she seems at peace with all that she’s squeezed out of her long life. Yet Joy realizes she can’t say the same.
