An intensely compulsive, beautifully vivid human story about the ripple effects of one dramatic moment and the chain of events it starts on four young people's lives - which fans of Emily John St. Mandel, Sally Rooney, Patricia Lockwood and The Power will be similarly obsessed by.DO YOU FEEL NOTHING? OR DO YOU FEEL EVERYTHING?It all began at a wedding. A smile across the room. A moment of lust. A separation long overdue. Then a woman sat down . . . and never stood up again. Suddenly hundreds, then thousands of people are sitting down. Is it a sickness - or are they simply giving up? In the search for love, or happiness, or anything at all, is living a choice? Or is it just something that happens to us?
