![]() ![]() More Happy Than Not is a strong debut from YA newcomer Adam Silvera. I received a review copy from the publisher which in no way swayed my opinion about the work. Since he can’t stay away from Thomas or suddenly stop being gay, Aaron must turn to Leteo to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he is. But Aaron’s newfound happiness isn’t welcome on his block. Most importantly, Thomas doesn’t mind talking about Aaron’s past. He has a sweet movie-watching setup on his roof, and he doesn’t mind Aaron’s obsession with a popular fantasy series. Aaron has the support of his patient girlfriend, if not necessarily his distant brother and overworked mother, but it’s not enough. Aaron could never forget how he’s grown up poor, how his friends aren’t there for him, or how his father committed suicide in their one-bedroom apartment. ![]() ![]() The Leteo Institute’s revolutionary memory-relief procedure seems too good to be true to Aaron Soto-miracle cure-alls don’t tend to pop up in the Bronx projects.
