good luck in the real world is a journey through mental health recovery. After a near-suicide attempt, Adrienne Novy was partially hospitalized. Over a year later, her mother suffers a brain bleed. Exploring suicidal ideation, hospitalization, the burnout from working hospitality and food service, and Novy's fascination with music and pop culture, good luck in the real world explores what we cling to when we learn how to heal and what it means to fall in love with life again.
