If it looks fishy & feels fishy, it is fishy.

Seb hopes it isn't, wanting to prove to his parents he is good at something, until the boy he likes opens his eyes.

Welcome to HappyHead by Josh Silver, a dystopian/YA story where "wellness" goes evil!

Finished HappyHead and I really hope that the sequel doesn't go this way.
When reading dystopian novels and novels dealing with conversion camps, I always have this fear that a gay character will be forced to have straight sex. It's never happened so far but the fear is here and some authors intentionally fuel it.

✨ My books of the year ✨

A mixture of old books and new! All very different from each other but ultimately they are all filled with friendship, family, hope and love 💙📚

Thanks for reccing me :) I think UK YA has a bit more in the dystopian line than US YA at the moment -- e.g. HappyHead by Josh Silver, The Vulpine by Polly Crosby (I haven't read this one yet, I've got it in Libby right now). And tends to skew younger, too, though my books don't particularly.

Going down the rabbit hole, Carl Marsh did a solo album under the name "Happyhead". Completely Madchester and anti-capitalist satire. It's fantastic.

Because I was curious about where HappyHead was going, I picked up book two which was released today. I'm going on a book buying ban for a little while, I've outspent my budget but I have plenty of books to read for the next couple months!

Book one, HappyHead, was so good and I thought Dead Happy wouldn't be able to live up to how the story started but I was still along for the ride.
It was So. Much. Better.

Absolutely loved this one. It was dark, sad, traumatic and even funny in parts. I immediately went into book 2!

This camp isn't exactly what it seems, and Seb is determined to figure out what's really going on. Check out HAPPYHEAD by Josh Silver.

I had some mixed feelings for this title, but ultimately loved the plot idea and I'm looking forward to the second book Dead happy by Josh Silver!

The HappyHead Books.
This had me hooked from the offset. Think hunger games where we see our main protagonist sent to a facility that sells itself as the cure for the epidemic of teenage depression and unhappiness. It is a dark thriller with themes of sexuality, heteronormativity and mental health.
