by Hanna Jameson - £14.99  Penguin Books Ltd (2023)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9780241515075 | ISBN 10: 0241515076

'Jameson channels the righteous anger of a generation' Luzia Sauma
'An eerie, fascinating, nihilistic triumph' Heather Darwent
 
At a New York City wedding, on a sweltering summer night, four people are trying to be happy.
 
Yun has everything he ever wanted, but somehow it's never enough.
Emory is finally making her mark, but feels the shame more than the success.
Andrew is trying to be honest, but has lied to himself his whole life.
Fin can't resist falling in love, but can't help wrecking it all either.
 
And then the world begins to end. The four of them watch as one of the wedding guests sits down and refuses to get back up. Soon it's happening across the world. Is it a choice or an illness?
 
Because how can anyone be happy in a world where the only choice is to feel everything - or nothing at all?
 
An intensely compulsive novel for anyone who has ever felt hopeful and helpless in one breath, Are You Happy Now is about how you keep living when the world is on fire. Perfect for fans of Emily John St. Mandel's Station Eleven, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Patricia Lockwood's Nobody is Talking About This and Naomi Alderman's The Power.
