About this deal

Starred Review. A fresh spin on what begins as a fairly standard, if well executed, story of a teen experiencing firsts - first love, first sex, first loss - and struggling with his identity and sexuality . . . ingenious. Heartfelt . . . The futuristic twist, with its poignant repercussions, drives home a memorable, thoroughly contemporary theme: who you are inside is not something that can or should be erased . . . Lose your memories, lose your pain, lose yourself." This book is so freaking sad. Forget plots about an uninterested love interest or an absent parent or a group of vampires gone awry. More Happy Than Not transcends the typical YA story by incorporating themes of loss and self-regret in mature, oftentimes open-ended ways. Yes, Adam Silvera ties in comic books, video games, and other normal aspects of adolescent life into the book. However, he still manages to capture and reflect the convoluted suffering so many teens go through on a day-to-day basis because of factors like their sexuality. I 100% wish that this book had been there for me when I struggled with my gayness as a middle school student, and I feel so glad knowing that it is available to young folk now.

As a result, the comparative form will be “redder” and the superlative “reddest.”

For instance, to say that my friend has a happy baby, I use the adjective “happy” to describe the noun “baby.” Thus, whomever I am speaking to will know that the baby is joyous and content. ALSO, I LOVED the plot twist! I wasn't expecting it and it blew my mind, had me reading until 4 AM and I had to work the next day! In the second sentence, we compare the subject“you” in the present — using “than” as a conjunction— to “you” in the past, which is in the nominative case. The nominative case indicates that the pronoun is the subject of a verb, in this case, “were.” Formal Writing Uses “Than” as a Conjunction vs. Preposition and maybe, maaaybe one time you're there long after the last class has let out for the day, and you know you're going to do it right then, when the building is empty of anyone you'd want to see you triumph, as well as everyone you wouldn't want to see you fall.

It is full of surprises and twists and emotional highs and lows, to the point where putting the book down is almost physically painful.

One character is a small-time pot dealer in his public housing complex. Another character smokes weed every chance he gets. A few days ago my good friend, and talented author, Adam Silvera posted this piece on his blog: Happiness Isn’t 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. I’m 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. Adam Silvera explores the inner workings of a painful world and he delivers this with heartfelt honesty and a courageous, confident hand… a mesmerizing, unforgettable tour de force.”I've waited so so long (well, since this was released I guess) to read this. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2015 and it did not let me down. maybe music is the only way you even have a shot at going a single hour without thinking about the friend who used to sit in the seat next to you.
