Ever felt like nothing in life quite fits? A heartfelt story of identity, resilience, and the messy path to finding your place in the world. Perfect for anyone navigating life’s twists, or looking for a story that feels like it was written just for them. This memoir blends sharp observational humour with reflective literary nonfiction to explore what happens when a life built on momentum, achievement, and carefully curated ambition comes to a sudden halt. Beginning with an apparently simple question—“Are you happy?”—the narrative follows a journalist whose diagnosis of lupus forces her to confront not only chronic illness, but the quieter inheritance of family expectation, productivity, and self-worth. Moving between London and Madrid, newsrooms and bedrooms, medical uncertainty and generational conflict, the book examines how identity fractures and reforms when usefulness is stripped away. Witty, self-aware, and grounded in lived experience, it interrogates happiness not as a destination, but as a negotiation—one shaped by illness, family, and the uneasy work of deciding how to live when the old rules no longer apply.
