My imagination could transport me to the authors vibrant explanations of her surroundings but sometimes left me unable to apply the concepts to my own home and life. In certain cases, I felt as if the book was written for a glamourous world traveller living in a posh city and not my suburban life. It piqued my interest and opened my eyes to find things that I would have never considered before.Īlthough interested in the stories, at times I felt it was difficult to relate to the author. I found myself needing to take breaks because I just had to stop and see exactly what the author was describing to me. The stories contained in the book are interesting and vibrant. She finds the quirky and fun and describes it in a beautiful way that transports the reader to the joyful feelings she experiences. Fettell Lee has done a great deal of research by exploring the world and searching for joy in unsuspecting places. Once I began reading, I found it to be a fascinating read. With a playful cover of confetti, I was immediately drawn to Joyful. Joyful has opened my eyes to a world of joy that can be seen all around us, every day. Instead I have always considered happiness and the ways that I can attain it. I had never given much thought to the feeling of joy.
