{"product_id":"9780571387458","title":"I Want You to Be Happy","description":"A tender, witty, and sharp debut novel about the passions and peculiarities of modern love, by “an extraordinarily gifted writer” (Sally Rooney).\n\nChuck and Joey meet in a bar. He’s in his mid-thirties; she’s twelve years younger. He long ago abandoned his ambition of being a novelist and works as a copywriter at a big ad agency. \"Lead copywriter,\" he corrects himself. Joey is living paycheck to paycheck on her barista wages and privately dreams of making it as a poet. They go back to Chuck’s luxury flat—a world away from Joey’s cramped house-share, the crumbs in her bed. Soon, Joey is imagining a future between them and Chuck is moving on from a mistake in his recent past. Amazing, how meeting a new person can make you feel so new.\n\nFunny, excruciating, and true, Jem Calder's 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 still trying.","brand":"JONATHAN BALL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66744670224499,"sku":"9780571387458","price":392.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/11550693482391.jpg?v=1790711942","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.co.za\/products\/9780571387458","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
