Get infected. Get happy.
The first title in an explosive new series from the New York Times bestselling author of Scythe.
A new virus is spreading. Fast.
Thing is, its a wellness virus. After an initial fever, you feel great. Not physically, but emotionally. All your stress, all your depression, everything that weighs you down is gone. Get infected and then you get happy. But in a world where everything, from industry, to politics, to religion, has a vested interest in people being miserable, there's push back. Corporations and social media try to convince people that there's something terribly wrong about feeling happy so much of the time.
A vaccine is developed to "cure" people of their happiness. Two teens from very different socioeconomic backgrounds find their worlds turned upside down as they are caught up in a vast conspiracy as the world grapples with a most dangerous question: are we so addicted to our rage and misery that we might destroy misery's cure
