Chuck and Joey meet in a bar. He’s in his mid-thirties; she’s twelve years younger. He’s long abandoned his ambition to be a novelist and now works as a copywriter at a big ad agency. Joey lives paycheck to paycheck on her barista wages and privately dreams of making it as a poet. The two live polar opposite lives: Chuck in his luxury apartment, Joey in her cramped house-share. But soon enough, Joey’s imagining a future between them, and Chuck’s moving on from a major change in his recent past. Amazing, how meeting a new person can make you feel so new. Funny, excruciating, and true, I Want You to Be Happy is a sharp-eyed tale of two people searching for meaning and connection in modern times, missing the mark maybe, but trying. Faber & Faber; May 2026.
