The book we cannot stop talking about. So funny, mordantly acute, hair-raisingly honest about how we try to love. All eyes on this spectacular writer and debut novel. Phenomenal fiction!
'An extraordinarily gifted writer.' Sally Rooney I Want You to Be Happy is the funny and excruciatingly true novel of a new couple searching for connection and meaning. Missing the mark maybe, but still trying. You won't want to miss this. Out May 2026. https://t.co/X6amsRPDnj
