More happy than not review6/27/2023 To know that he might not ever get the happy ending he originally wanted breaks my heart but also knowing that he could be 100% who he was around his family was at least a little relieving. By the end of the book, he broke my heart. He's put up with being bullied, hiding who he really was, violence in the home, poverty, and he's still coming out trying. I thought that bringing in a different lifestyle along with the orientation fo the main character was key in this story and Adam Silvera did an amazing job of showing how different people react to the coming out process not that acting with violence is good, but it's a sad reality for many.Īaron: I think in his 17 years he has seen a lot of shit. And I think this book was a good way to start. I'll be the first to admit that I don't read many diverse book but I'm hoping to change that. But I also thought the aspect of sexuality was important to bring up. The idea of changing one thing about a person or being able to forget one aspect of your life is intriguing and I truly didn't think that Aaron had already gone through the process once. I really enjoyed this book I thought thtat the premise was interesting. So this is my first contemporary read for 2017 and I'm happy that it was the first one I picked up.
