Celadon Books is proud to announce the acquisition of Sarah Lawrence MFA graduate Ursula Villarreal-Moura's LIKE HAPPINESS. Pitched in the vein of LUSTER and TRUST EXERCISE, LIKE HAPPINESS tells the story of a young woman who spent many years in an intense relationship with a legendary author is forced to reconsider their connection when a journalist exposes his dark side—catalyzing a reckoning with gender, ambition, Latinx identity, and the wholly unexpected ways power dynamics can manifest. Associate Editor Cecily van Buren-Freedman acquired the novel at auction from Ashley Lopez at Waxman Literary Agency (NA).
