At a New York City wedding in early summer four people are trying to get their lives started. Yun has everything he ever wanted but somehow it's never enough. Emory is finally making her mark but feels the shame more than the success. Andrew just wants to be honest but has lied to himself his whole life. Fin can't resist falling in love but can't help wrecking it all either. That night they see something none of them can explain. Someone sits down and simply gives up.

Soon it's happening all around them. Is it an illness or a decision? How can anyone really be happy when the only choice is to feel everything - or nothing at all? An intensely compulsive novel for anyone who has ever felt hopeful and helpless in one breath ARE YOU HAPPY NOW is about how you keep living when the world is on fire.

Historian Jon Keller is on a trip to Switzerland when the world ends. As the lights go out on civilisation, twenty people remain in Jon's hotel. Far from the nearest city they wait, they survive. Then one day, the body of a young girl is found. It's clear she has been murdered. Which means that someone in the hotel is a killer. As paranoia descends, Jon decides to investigate. But what kind of justice can he hope for, when society as he knows it no longer exists?
