I Want You to Be Happy
Each time Joey leaves Chuck's plush apartment, it's with a fuller sense that he might just be the person for her. His smile, his maturity. The shared interests. The way he warms her hands in his. Ignore the differences - the twelve-year-age gap, her small damp house-share, her meagre barista wages. Trying to explain it doesn't explain it at all. Amazing, how a new person finding you interesting can make you feel so new. She wonders: could he love me?
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. It might even be a love story.
