Overview
"Notes of Happiness' is the workings of a novel. Within the novel, the year is 2022, and our young seventeen-year-old protagonist named August is looking back at her life in 2020 when coronavirus changed the world and herself entirely. Forced to move from Florida with her recently divorced mother Rachel to Massachusetts, August and Alice, August's younger sister, find themselves in an emotionally and physically abusive home. Tensions rise further while stuck at home, and August is determined to run away with Alice to create their own happiness. With the help of their grandparents, the girls find refuge in an apartment in Revere, MA and begin a new life. August feels her loyalty and stability being drawn away, though, by a reckless yet passionate boy named Bernie. August must decide what defines happiness and who completes her journey to it." -- Abstract
