Sad Books?

I need something really light and fun to read, because everything I've read lately has been so dark and sad.

I'm reading Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" about a boy who lost his father in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in New York. Before that, I read "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, which was funny, but ultimately really sad and tragic. Before that, I read "The Death Cure" by James Dashner, which sort of has a happy ending. Kind of. But only after a lot of suffering upon suffering upon suffering.

What I need is something silly and light. Maybe it's time to pick up the most recent Lorna Landvik book. Hmmm ... decisions, decisions ...
