'Dark and thrilling' -- Taron Egerton 'like Hunger Games but better' -- Sue Wallman, author of Lying About Last Summer 'A brilliantly written page-turner, HappyHead is a compelling love story set in an all too possible world where no one can be trusted and teenage happiness is not an aspiration but a must. Sharp and unsettling, Silver's debut had me rooting for Seb and Finn from the off.' -- Amy Beashel, author of The Sky Is Mind HappyHead is a heart-pounding must-read. Thought-provoking and absorbing, it is nearly impossible to put down. -- Raven Guron, author of This Book Kills 'so tense doesn't quite cut it. It's SO GOOD!' -- A.F Steadman, author of Skandar and the Uniform Thief
