More Happy Than Not

De: Adam Silvera

Narrado por: Ramon de Ocampo

Happiness shouldn't be this hard...

When it first gets announced, the Leteo Institute's memory-alteration procedure seems too good to be true to Aaron Soto; miracle cure-alls don't tend to pop up in the Bronx projects. Aaron can't forget how he's grown up poor, how his friends all seem to shrug him off, and how his father committed suicide in their one-bedroom apartment. He has the support of his patient girlfriend, if not necessarily his distant brother and overworked mother, but it's not enough.

Then Thomas shows up. He doesn't mind Aaron's obsession over the Scorpius Hawthorne books and has a sweet movie setup on his roof. There are nicknames. Aaron's not only able to be himself, but happiness feels easy with Thomas. The love Aaron discovers may cost him what's left of his life. But since Aaron can't suddenly stop being gay, Leteo may be the only way out.

not what i expected

i enjoyed it very much. walked in with closed eyes witch made it better. i did not predict any of it until it was to late .. and i love that .

Mind Blowing

This book messed me up emotionally. Its heartbreaking and terrible. I love it so much. Its going to be one of all time favorites.

Amazing Twist

OMG I never expected that twist!!! Felt bad that Aaron and Thomas didn’t ended up together!!! I was hoping and wishing that they did!!! Felt sad for Aaron at the end!!!

surprisingly good

I wasn't sure what to expect and when I read the summary again I wasn't sure why I bought it. But this is a very well told sensitive story about finding out, and the journey to accept who you are. Helped along by a little sci-fi device. It is about teenage characters and is probably YA, but is written with an adult story line and dialogue.

No closure. So unsatisfying.

This is my second book by Adam Silvera (I just finished ‘They both die at the end’) and the feeling is the same - the endings are so unsatisfying which is a shame because the writing is mostly great. I’m not asking for super-happy or ridiculous miracles, but better closure after investing the time to read/listen.
