Reviving an old-ish thread in the interest of providing a few other suggestions for upbeat stories.
Dorothy Sayers, Murder must Advertise (Hilarious mystery set in the advertising industry in the UK)
Nicole Jordan, The Seduction (easily her best book)
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (very clever and inventive)
Walter Tevis, Mockingbird (may not be available as an ebook, but worth finding. Dystopian love story with a happy ending)
