Well this was a brain breaker. I love a dystopian YA and the concept behind this one definitely had me interested. Happyhead is a ‘camp’  created to try and solve the epidemic of unhappiness within teenagers by teaching them the skills to become resilient and happy within themselves. I immediately liked Seb our main protagonist but found most of the other characters quite unlikeable (Finn being an exception!). The challenges made me feel quite unwell as it was so clear from the offset that vulnerable teenagers were being manipulated and taken advantage of - this developed into full blown repulsión for me! Not with the book, but the idea of this ever happening - which I guess is the whole point! My only issue really is that it ended very abruptly and I felt like the end of this novel had been already given to me earlier in the book. I’ll still revisit a book 2 to see what happens next to Seb!  

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my early copy of this in exchange of a fair and honest review.
