if you’re looking for a book that will leave you feeling happy, this probably isn’t the book for you (despite its name). a beautifully written novel about wanting to forget the bad parts in life, but realizing that is a part of what makes you human. we live in a world that is messy, filled with ugliness and beauty, and silvera’s work brings that out wonderfully. while it was a bit slow to start, by about halfway i couldn’t put it down and wanted to cry for aaron by the end of it.

This book had such an interesting plot. The beginning started out slow and I was wondering where the story would go or when certain things would come into play. At the halfway point the story really picked up and got more interesting. I got a version with the extended ending and I liked how everything tied up. (the OG version published in 2012 kind of had a sad ending but Adam Silvera wrote an additional chapter to tie things up with a happier ending later)

I will say I didn’t feel totally connected to the characters so that’s why I only rated it 3⭐️ but this was a really unique story.
