Publisher's Summary
Adella is facing the dawn of a new year and the end of her twenties - and she's in a psychiatric unit recovering from a mental breakdown. A decade earlier, her life held such promise; she had every option in her hand. How did it come to this?
As we go back and walk with Adella through her twenties, she searches for her grand purpose through love, career and travel. At her side through the tumultuous highs and lows is her best friend, Jake, facing his own challenges and opportunities. They both know the future must have something better to offer - but why does it also always feel, in the bottom of their stomachs, as though something bad is going to happen?
Raw and revelatory, Something Bad is Going to Happen is a heart-stopping work from one of Australia's most exciting writers. Dealing with the weight young women bear through pressure, anxiety, rejection, this is a generation-defining novel - wise, witty, deeply compelling.

Awesome read
Jessie, this book was amazing, thank you for making the invisible visible and the unspoken spoken. So many of us suffer from the same affliction. What I have always loved about your work has been listening to you and others at Mamamia not being afraid to talk about mental health without taboo or an Illness that could be caught. Being able to be yourself in a workplace feels like a honour, I can see why you feel inspired to be you and be challenging and inspired. Please write again, I love the depth and honesty of your writing. Congratulations 👏

Slow but addictive
At first I was really disappointed not to hear Jessie Stephen’s read her book. In my head I could hear her voice, I knew they were her words so I found the voice distracting. The story was a little slow in the beginning and I had to come back to it a few times but then, I was obsessed with it. The twists and turns. Hoping nothing else could go wrong for Adela being knowing it would. Loved the ending! Great book! X

Absolutely devoured this book
Adella's story is nothing yet everything like my own, its completely relatable. beautiful insight into mental health, not only for the person experiencing the struggle but for the people around them who seldom get enough credit. I feel this book will help people understand and empathise with one another

honest
this is an honest and sometimes confronting look into a certain kind of depression. I found it hard at times, but only because it made me remember what it was like when those feelings consumed me. this will help you feel seen and/or understand

Wow!
What an incredible novel. It articulates all that lives inside anyone struggling with mental health in a way I’ve never read.
Would recommend to anyone who has experienced, or has someone in their lives who have experienced, mental health challenges.
Powerful and perfectly written.

Make this a movie/series!!!
I devoured this! Heartbreaking, smart and current, Jessie Stephens’ first go at fiction is beautiful and I feel like it’s PERFECT for film or TV too.
