Praise for HappyHead: 'Like Hunger Games but better.' Sue Wallman, author of Lying About Last Summer 'A truly thought-provoking thriller, channelling the menace of dystopian favourites.' Observer 'Dark and thrilling.' Taron Egerton 'Intriguing, suspenseful and full of big feels, and that's only book one.' Sunday Independent (Dublin) BOOK OF THE YEAR 'So tense I had to put it down occasionally to breathe normally. It's brutal & horrifying with a raw, beautiful love story at its core. Incredible writing from Josh Silver.' Sue Wallman, author of Lying about Last Summer 'I inhaled this book... An action packed-rollercoaster ride...full of laugh-out-loud moments of relief as well as profound observations on the way we view mental health and it's relationship to happiness as a society.' Natasha Devon, author of Toxic 'Thrilling, witty and thought provoking...a rollercoaster of a read. It won't let you go, from the tense opening chapter through to an absolutely unforgettable ending.' Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills
