More Happy Than Not
In his twisty, gritty, profoundly moving New York Times bestselling-debut, Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx. In the months after his father`s suicide, it`s been tough for sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto to find happiness but with the support of his girlfriend Genevieve, he`s slowly remembering what that might feel like. When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron starts hanging out with a new guy, Thomas. Aaron`s friends notices, and they`re not exactly thrilled. But Aaron can`t deny the happiness Thomas brings or how Thomas makes him feel safe from himself. Since Aaron can`t stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute`s revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is… Praise for More Happy Than Not `Silvera managed to leave me smiling after totally breaking my heart. Unforgettable.` Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda `Mandatory reading` – New York Times `Gut-wrenching` – Guardian Starred Reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist and School Library JournalPraise for Adam Silvera `History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache. Even when its hero is screwing up royally, maybe especially then, Silvera`s humanity and compassion carve out a space where it`s not the falling that`s important, it`s how you pick yourself back up. There isn`t a teenager alive who won`t find their heart described perfectly on these pages.` Patrick Ness `Adam Silvera is a master at capturing the infinite small heartbreaks of love and loss and grief. History Is All You Left Me is a beautiful meditation on what it means to survive devastating loss. This book will make you cry, think, and then cry some more.` Nicola Yoon `Bold and haunting.` Lauren Oliver on They Both Die At The End `A phenomenal talent.` Juno Dawson
