"Faith immerses us hypnotically in Sylvie''s consciousness . With great subtlety, Faith creates a tragicomic portrait of a mind in the process of healing: No small feat ." --Emily Gould, The Cut "[A] spare, associative novel of projection and self-acceptance." -- The New Yorker "[An] endearing debut novel . [ Happiness Forever ] deepens with meaning as we learn more about Sylvie''s reasons for being in therapy and her shy attempts outside those sessions toward a fuller, healthier life." --Helen Wieffering, Associated Press "Faith masterfully balances Sylvie''s dialogue-heavy sessions with her counselor with unflinchingly honest descriptions of her inner thoughts and surroundings. Fans of Judith Rossner''s August and Gail Honeyman''s Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (2017) will enjoy this slow-paced novel of one woman''s journey to find happiness without asking for permission." --Katie Pomeroy, Booklist "In Sylvie, Faith has created a wonderfully likable and empathetic character longing for connection to others and reckoning with the next level of emotional maturity .

Faith presents interesting insights into the client-therapist relationship in this strong character-driven novel, featuring a realistic, even quirky portrayal of someone coming of age." -- Library Journal "This accomplished debut tackles complex topics--obsession, grief, and abuse among them--with remarkable clarity and humor." --Hannah Jackson, Vogue (Best Books of the Year So Far) "Witty and irreverent . Faith''s razor-sharp prose and Sylvie''s fanciful thinking sustain the offbeat narrative. Readers will fall in love with this meditative and heartfelt novel." -- Publishers Weekly " I was mesmerized by Happiness Forever , and helplessly caught in its spell from the first page. There is so much rare humor and insight and sweetness and humanity in its pages, and a true and ringing voice. It''s a beautiful book about longing, and the feeling that one is not a self, and being hurt, and the vulnerability of simply being alive, and friendship, and obsession, and therapy.

I wanted to pass it on to all my friends." --Sheila Heti, author of Alphabetical Diaries " Happiness Forever explores what happens when we let ourselves be truly transformed by obsession and longing. Adelaide Faith''s writing is unrestrained and voyeuristic, resulting in a truly special book. Not only is this novel surprising and funny, it''s also poignant and philosophical in its exploration of what it means to watch and be watched. This is a book I won''t soon forget." --Chelsea Hodson, author of Tonight I''m Someone Else " Happiness Forever had me hopelessly charmed from its opening sentence . I loved it!" --Amy Key, author of Arrangements in Blue "A disarmingly sweet book, with a protagonist who speaks to those parts of us we often pretend aren''t there." --Nicola Dinan, author of Disappoint Me "A jaw-dropping, exhilarating, completely original high-wire act, Happiness Forever perfectly balances being insane and almost too sane.
