The New York Times bestseller. An Oprah's Book Club selection. "A humorous and moving exploration of a modern marriage that astonishes in its breadth and intimacy." - Brit Bennett, author of The Mothers and The Vanishing Half.

A powerfully touching novel about how we change, grow, and age. Wellness is a story about marriage, middle age, our technology-obsessed health culture, and the bonds that hold people together. When Jack and Elizabeth meet as students in the 90s, they quickly become friends and stick together, each ready to carve out a place in Chicago's thriving underground art scene with an understanding soulmate.

Nearly twenty years later, in married life, the once youthful dreamers are forced to confront their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In doing so, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other.

From the gritty art scene of 90s Chicago to a suburb filled with detox diets and renovation mania, Wellness digs into the absurdities of modern technology and modern love to reveal profound, surprising truths about intimacy and connection. In this continuation of Nathan Hill's electrifying debut, Wellness reimagines the love story with healthy doses of insight, irony, and heart.

"This brilliant novel will make you reflect on the truth of your own life and the stories we tell ourselves and each other." - Oprah Winfrey. "Nathan Hill is a maestro... the best new writer of fiction in America - the best." - John Irving.
