4.5 Stars? May change to 5? I don’t know, I really disliked some of Aaron’s decisions but also see why Adam Silvera did that to make him more human. And the plot twist messed with my mind. But I did love this book. (I think I definitely like History is All You Left Me more, but that’s more because of the plot and the lack of sci-fi that was woven into this? I don’t know

4.5 Whoa, this book. I might update this review with more details later, but for now, it was heart-breaking, real, and unforgettable.

"I want to be so happy that bad memories aren’t following me around like unwanted shadows."
When reading books like this, I am always torn between: (A) spending sleepless nights imagining new happy endings for the characters, or (B) enjoying the perfect misery Adam Silvera leaves us with. So I usually do both.
As always, this review will be spoiler-free. Just trust me when I say the twist is worth it. Sixteen year old Aaron (Stretch) is the narrator of the story. He lives in a world where, for the right price, Letego Institute can remove your memories. His world is also a tough Bronx neighborhood where any male affection is immediately followed by "no homo." When he meets and befriends Thomas (

I enjoyed this book I thought it was a little slow but when it kicked off it kicked off. The plot twist in the book is INSANE. Just be aware there is some cussing in it, depression, suicide, suicidal thought, & homophobia. All in all I give this book 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I struggle with books that are contemporary, but have some mystic sci-fi aspect that's not really explained. I think it's why I didn't like Silvera's latest book, They Both Die At The End. This book though, handled it much better and I'm glad I decided to read.
