He's in his mid-thirties; she's twelve years younger. He's long abandoned his ambition of becoming a novelist and now works as a copywriter at a big ad agency. 'Lead copywriter,' he corrects himself. Joey lives 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's imagining a future between them, and Chuck's moving on from a mistake in his recent past. Amazing, how meeting a new person can make you feel so new.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunny, excruciating, and true, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Want You to Be Happy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a sharp-eyed tale of two people searching for meaning and connection in modern times, missing the mark maybe, but still trying.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Times Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45211881799880,"sku":"TIMES-0926-208","price":103.5,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiShop-5_515c6ffb-f28b-4f4f-9708-410caa344aec.png?v=1789113965","url":"https:\/\/tintabudi.com\/products\/i-want-you-to-be-happy","provider":"Tintabudi Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
