Grief, friendship, and a school project

After her boyfriend dies by suicide, Evy faces grief and unanswered questions alongside her best friend, Henry, and classmate Chloe, who has a struggle of her own. Their senior film project, The Happy Face Project, becomes a way to address mental health openly and challenge silence around it. The story brings together bereavement, peer support, and the role of creative collaboration, with music and standing together named as part of the characters’ path toward healing. Its young-adult setting also makes the project a point of connection between personal pain and a wider school community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about friendship and grief.
  • Readers seeking young-adult fiction that addresses suicide and mental health.
  • Families and educators interested in fiction that can prompt discussion about young people’s experiences.

Book overview

Find solidarity in loss, friendship, and the fight to bring light into the darkest moments.

"A brave and tender story that speaks to the heart of every teenager, and every parent who loves one."

When Evy loses her boyfriend to suicide, her life unravels in grief and unanswered questions. With the help of her best friend Henry and her classmate Chloe, who carries her own hidden struggle, Evy channels her pain into The Happy Face Project, a senior film that dares to talk openly about mental health.

What begins as a school project becomes something bigger: a mission to break the silence, to offer hope, and to save at least one life before graduation. Along the way, Evy, Henry, and Chloe discover that healing is found in music, courage, and in standing together when it matters most.

For anyone searching for connection and for every parent or educator who wants to better understand what today's youth are facing.

 

A story of heartbreak and resilience, it offers both a mirror for young adult readers and a conversation starter for families, schools, and communities.
