Love is a wicked game… and sometimes, everyone loses.
Sarah Lackey spent years dreaming of Weston Hill-Cho, the golden boy with the perfect smile and the promise of a fairytale ending. And for one perfect week, it felt like her dream had finally come true. He kissed her. Saw her. Told her to meet him at Disneyland, the happiest place on earth. But that was before real life kicked in. Before graduation. Before distance. Before he put her in the friend zone and left her with a dream she refuses to let go of.
She’s not ready to lose him, not when she’s come this far. So if holding on means telling half-truths, playing games, or using someone else to get his attention… she’ll do it. Because Sarah believes in true love. She just never expected it to get so messy. This time, she might get everything she’s ever wanted. But someone will end up heartbroken. The only question is… who?
Set in the aftermath of high school, The Unhappiest Person on Earth is a bittersweet coming-of-age romance about longing, identity, and the danger of holding on too tightly to a dream that no longer fits. As Sarah confronts the space between fantasy and reality, she faces the hardest truth of all:
Realizing your dream doesn’t always lead to happiness. But staying true to yourself just might.
