With an extremely astonishing storyline that will leave you hollow and full at the same time, author Adam Silvera presents an incredible debut novel, More Happy Than Not.

Aaron Soto is struggling emotionally and hasn’t been happy since a family tragedy rocked his world. He thinks the Leteo Institute with its memory-altering procedure could be the answer to change his mood. However, when Aaron meets Thomas and starts discovering himself, his world is threatened even more.

When you finally figure out what is happening in the novel, it’s like your breath gets knocked right out of you. The brilliance with which Silvera writes astounded me. It’s gut-wrenching to think about what Aaron is going through and will really speak to the LGBTQ community.

Final say: More amazing than I can say. ★★★★★
