All Better Now cover

If happiness were a virus, would you search for a cure?

A heart-pounding dystopian YA thriller for fans of Pluribus from the New York Times bestselling author of Scythe.


"[The] epic biological thriller ... enigmatic, jaw-dropping" Publishers Weekly

A deadly and unprecedented virus is spreading. But those who survive it experience a long-term effect never seen before: utter contentment. Stress, depression and greed are all gone.

But the people in power know this new state of being is bad for business. Campaigns start up to convince people that being eternally happy is dangerous. The race to find a vaccine begins. Meanwhile, a growing movement of Recoverees plan ways to spread the virus as fast as they can, in the name of saving the world.

And three teens from very different backgrounds find themselves at the center of a power play that could change humanity forever.
