{"product_id":"happiness-and-love-1","title":"Happiness and Love","description":"One of Vogue's Best Books of the Year \"Reading the novel is akin to spending time with a witty if merciless observer of other people's idiocies. There's something of a latter-day Holden Caulfield about the narrator...it possesses an enlivening, claustrophobic charge.\" --The Spectator Following a young woman over the course of one outrageous and insufferable downtown dinner party at the home of her estranged best friends--an artist and curator couple, whom she now realizes stands for everything she detests--Happiness and Love is a \"deliciously scathing\" (Vogue UK) debut novel about brazen materialism, self-obsession, and the empty careerism of so-called cultural elites.Delivered in a single hilarious, brutal paragraph, this is the story of an evening that slowly self-destructs, as the guests sip orange wine and await the arrival of a newly famous actress. When the guest of honor finally does arrive, she sets in motion a disastrous end to the night, laying bare the depravity and decadence of the hosts' empty little lives--a hollowness that the narrator herself knows all too well.","brand":"Scribner Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48841088958669,"sku":"9781668063002","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_9e3eaa24-4c41-4688-91a3-15d2a25dd355.jpg?v=1792002961","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/happiness-and-love-1","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
