Description

In the not-so-distant future, emotions aren’t just felt – they're the latest must-have accessory, available for a pretty penny. Welcome to a world where "retail therapy" gets a whole new meaning and your happiness might just have been lifted from the discount rack.

Enter Mia Stanton, a sassy lawyer with an affinity for authenticity and a severe allergy to Big Emotion's shenanigans. She's armed with wit, grit, and a killer legal argument: emotions are intellectual property, and somebody's been playing grand theft auto with people's joy.

But there's a twist, and it's not just Mia’s pencil skirt. Alex Turner, the dapper darling of the very corporation she’s gunning for, turns out to have more layers than an onion in a tuxedo. Underneath that corporate sheen, he’s got real, genuine feelings for Mia. Who knew?

As Mia navigates courtroom dramas, quantum quandaries, and unexpected romantic flutters, she's got backup. Meet Sarah, Mia’s hilariously honest BFF, who's never met a manufactured emotion she couldn't mock.

Buckle up, folks! The Happiness Thief promises a ride that’s part rom-com, part sci-fi, part legal drama, and 100% electrifying. Join us in a world where genuine feels are the ultimate rebellion, and remember to keep your receipt—you might just want to return that second-hand joy!

The Happiness Thief is whirlwind cocktail of Erin Brockovich's determination, Harry Met Sally's playful banter, and Eat Pray Love's quest for authenticity. Join Mia and her quirky crew as they dismantle the corporate emotion industry with humor, heart, and a dash of quantum intrigue.

In the not-so-distant future, emotions aren’t just felt – they're the latest must-have accessory, available for a pretty penny. Welcome to a world where "retail therapy" gets a whole new meaning and...
