Wellness is a sweeping, sharp, and darkly funny novel that explores the illusions we build to survive love, ambition, and modern life. Set across decades, it follows Jack and Elizabeth, a couple who meet in the '90s amid the grunge and idealism of Chicago's art scene. As their marriage progresses, so does the world around them—into an era of wellness culture, social media illusions, and self-optimization. Beneath their pursuit of fulfillment and connection, they begin to question the authenticity of their choices, their love, and the identities they've curated. Both intimate and expansive, the novel dissects the stories we tell ourselves about health, happiness, and each other in a restless search for truth.
