Why would a successful psychologist in excellent mental health suddenly want to take her own life?When psychologist Emma Parkland stumbles and falls onto the letter opener she’s carrying, stabbing herself in the chest, she realizes that waiting out the suicidal urge she woke up with last week is no longer an option. Desperate for answers, she consults her own personal psychologist, CouchGPT. Its diagnosis: a bizarre and little-known condition called Sudden Onset Suicidality (SOS), a progressive disease with a 94% fatality rate and no known cure.If Emma can’t find a way to heal her SOS, she won’t just lose her life-she’ll destroy the lives of everyone who depends on her. Like Gregory, owner of Out-of-the-Box Custom Coffins who attends her Mortal Wounds support group to cope with his debilitating fear of death. And her couples clients, Jenna and Alexander, whose marriage is buckling under the strain of Alexander’s ADHD and 'little messes everywhere.'Emma knows that a war with the unconscious is a losing battle, and she prays she can hold on long enough to crack the code of her SOS and heal her wounded psyche. What she doesn’t realize, though, is that the key to her recovery unlocks a secret that just might kill her.A Half-Hearted Death Wish is a gripping, genre-bending novel that blends psychological suspense with surreal twists and absurdist elements, weaving together emotional gravity and offbeat humor. With its unpredictable turns, endearing characters, and thought-provoking insights, it takes readers on a transformative journey-making it as unputdownable as it is unforgettable.
