Aoife's Reviews > Hector and the Search for Happiness

Hector is a psychiatrist and feels happy with his life until one day he’s starts pondering the meaning of happiness. Feeling like he can’t help his patients without answering this question for himself, he embarks on a world tour to discover what happiness means in different places.

This book is very cutesy and Hector appears to be a slightly bumbling yet charming person who manages to make friends wherever he goes. The writing and the story is slightly simplistic and there’s nothing Hector discovers about happiness and what it is that’s mind-blowing or would be new to any reader. Unfortunately Hector is also a womanizer in a way that’s worse than actively doing it because he seems to just fall into bed with random women accidentally and then loves a woman for who he thinks she is rather than who she actually is.

This was fine but I won’t be reading any of the sequels with Hector.
