Adelaide Faith's debut novel, Happiness Forever, features Sylvie, a veterinary nurse navigating her life after a toxic relationship, centered around her obsession with her therapist. Set in an English seaside town, the novel eschews a typical 'trauma plot,' focusing instead on the complexities of healing and personal growth. The absence of a definitive 'cure' emphasizes the ongoing struggle with compulsive behaviors. Throughout her journey, Sylvie finds solace and companionship in her new friend Chloe, showcasing the importance of art and friendship in improving life's challenges.
"Happiness Forever does not follow a typical 'trauma plot'; it focuses instead on rebuilding oneself after trauma, exploring the nuances of obsession and personal growth."
"There is no clear 'cure' in the novel; Sylvie's therapy ends with the therapist's retirement, leaving the reader questioning the possibility of overcoming compulsive behaviors."
