Description In Favor Of Books More Happy Than Not
Part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, part Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Adam Silvera's extraordinary debut confronts race, class, and sexuality during one charged near-future summer in the Bronx. Sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto is struggling to find happiness after a family tragedy leaves him reeling. He's slowly remembering what happiness might feel like this summer with the support of his girlfriend Genevieve, but it's his new best friend, Thomas, who really gets Aaron to open up about his past and confront his future. As Thomas and Aaron get closer, Aaron discovers things about himself that threaten to shatter his newfound contentment. A revolutionary memory-alteration procedure, courtesy of the Leteo Institute, might be the way to straighten himself out. But what if it means forgetting who he truly is?Itemize Books Concering More Happy Than Not

This Review ✍ Blog 📖 Twitter 🐦 Instagram 📷 Happiness shouldnt be this hard. ★ By reading this book I have read all of Adam released books and even unreleased ones (Infinity Son), I did not start with this one for no particular reason and then I did not know if I wanted to read it because I kept hearing mixed opinions: It is Adams best book or it is Adams worst book. I like to consider myself a reasonable human and I like to look at things from all aspects which explains the 3 stars I
A few days ago my good friend, and talented author, Adam Silvera posted this piece on his blog: Happiness Isnt Just an Outside Thing. The blog post talks mainly about depression, which Adam has grappled with for some time now, and is a beautiful meditation on the failure of external validation to satisfy the holes that truly need filling. Im so proud of him for sharing his hard journey with all his readers with the same incisive honesty that makes him such a fantastic writer.On that note, a few
Really enjoyed this one, because a) I read it in the Caribbean, and b) its a very engaging story with likable (and despicable) characters and a genuinely shocking twist. Definitely recommend, especially if you're looking for good LGBTQ oriented books
This book was just really sad, at least to me. All of the things Aaron went through is just too much. No one should ever have to go through that kind of stuff. And the Leteo Institute, I have no words.
Oh, boy. I won't.More Happy Than Not didn't turn out to be what I expected, and let me tell you, it was so much better than I thought it would be. Messed-up when you think about it, this containing one of my biggest pet peeve make it plural : several of my biggest pet peeves - nah, I won't tell which ones, I can be annoying like that. But let's start at the beginning, shall we? There are books that make you feel like a voyeur, as the characters seem so real that you get the impression to spy on
