Table of ContentsReviews'Like Happiness is a deft and touching coming of age story that resists easy answers to very thorny questions-about sexual consent and power, about fame and persona, about making and loving art.' - Rumaan Alam, bestselling author of Leave the World Behind 'An epic unraveling of every love story trope, reclaimed as something sharp, seething, unsettling, and true. Yes, this has page flipping plot momentum, but it's also a whip smart critique of race in America, art making in the age of neoliberal 'feminism,' and the crushing humor of trying to exist as a quiet person with big wants' - T Kira Madden, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls 'Like Happiness is a stunning swirl of a coming of age novel about power, manipulation, and complicity. In Tatum, Ursula Villarreal-Moura has created an eminently relatable character. Readers will connect to her love of books, her complicated relationships, and the different ways she grapples with understanding herself--in relation to class, sexuality, race, and family ties. This is the start of a brilliant career.' - Megan Giddings, author of The Women Could Fly and Lakewood 'Expertly written with striking intimacy and heartbreaking clarity, Like Happiness accomplishes a profound emotional electrocution that will leave you floating lighter for days' - Xochitl Gonzalez, author of Olga Dies Dreaming Author InformationUrsula Villarreal-Moura is the author of Math for the Self-Crippling (2022), selected by Zinzi Clemmons as the Gold Line Press fiction contest winner.
