Описание: For as long as I can remember feeling things, Ive felt sadness. Now, for example, I feel sad that we have no money. Also a little mad that a bunch of idiots seem to have it all. But sad, mostly, because I think thats just the way things are. Its an all-encompassing feeling, like my lungs are filled with it instead of air.
Youd think it would feel better to be at one with the world.

Janet works at a rundown dog shelter in the woods. She wears black, loves the Smiths, and cant wait to get rid of her passive-aggressive boyfriend. Her brain is full of anxiety, like one of those closets you never want to open because everything will fall out and crush you. She has a meddlesome family, eccentric coworkers, one old friend whos left her for Ibiza, and one new friend whos really just a neighbor she sees in the hallway. Most of all, Janet has her sadness--a comfortable cloak she uses to insulate herself from the oppressions of the wider world.

That is, until one fateful summer when word spreads about a new pill that offers even cynics like her a short-term taste of happiness . . . just long enough to make it through the holidays without wanting to stab someone with a candy cane. When her family stages an intervention, her boyfriend leaves, and the prospect of making it through Christmas alone seems like too much, Janet decides to give them what they want. What follows is life-changing for all concerned--in ways no one quite expects.

Hilarious, bitterly wise, and surprisingly warm, Sad Janet is the depression comedy you never knew you needed.

Sad Janet, Britsch Lucie
