Six Steps to Happiness
by Suzie Tullett
When Ronnie’s husband, Nick, leaves her for their next-door neighbour, Gaye, Ronnie’s life starts to fall apart.
Devastated by the break-up of her marriage, Ronnie is desperate for Nick and Gaye to set up home elsewhere. But Nick and Gaye won’t budge.
To add to her problems, Ronnie’s daughter and mother-in-law decide to stage an intervention. With her family keeping a close eye on her, Ronnie is forced to become more devious in her actions to get rid of Nick and Gaye.
But just how far will she go?
And is moving on ever that easy?
Six Steps to Happiness is a hilarious look at just how far one woman will go to recover from a broken heart and find happiness again.

Favorite Quotes:
That woman does have more neck than a giraffe.
“How could you do this to me?” she asked. Staring down at step one, she read the words again: Join a gym… Continuing to stare at the note, Ronnie sighed. The last thing she wanted to do was join the Lycra brigade and start pumping iron.
I’d wait until he was so enamoured by my presence, I could tell him I was Vlad the Impaler’s love child and he wouldn’t care.
“We’re the three amigos.” “The three musketeers,” Bea said. Ronnie laughed. “More like the three stooges.”
She smeared brick number six with cement and squashed her wedding ring into the mixture. “There,” she said, and forcing the whole thing back in place, closed off the last bit of the hole. “Finished.”
My Review:
This was my first experience with the deft and agile wordsmithing of Suzie Tullett and I am enamored with her crafty scribblings. Her writing sparkled with deviously clever wit, insightful observations, and humorous descriptions that filled my gray matter with sharp visuals and kept a near-constant smirk on my face. I adored Ronnie despite her flaws and enjoyed her journey as she schemed and wreaked her vengeance, found her footing, and forged a new identity separate from her ex-husband. For a previous homebody - and to my gleeful amusement - Ronnie seemed destined for one hapless and extremely embarrassing misadventure after another following the shocking betrayal by her worm of a husband. I enjoyed her evolution and was rooting for her all the way.
