Welcome to the #MoreHappyThanNot Book Blog Tour!!
Here is the synopsis from Amazon: Part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, part Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Adam Silvera's extraordinary debut confronts race, class, and sexuality during one charged near-future summer in the Bronx. 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. But Aaron can't forget how he's grown up poor or how his friends aren't always there for him. Like after his father committed suicide in their one bedroom apartment. Aaron has the support of his patient girlfriend, if not necessarily his distant brother and overworked mother, but it's not enough. Then Thomas shows up. He has a sweet movie-watching setup on his roof, and he doesn't mind Aaron's obsession with a popular fantasy series. There are nicknames, inside jokes. Most importantly, Thomas doesn't mind talking about Aaron's past. But Aaron's newfound happiness isn't welcome on his block. Since he's 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.
The scheduled publication date is June 2, 2015. You can preorder it here!
This book sounds so amazing. They had me at Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I am interested in the concept of someone who is so upset with who he is that he is willing to undergo a procedure that would cause him to forget everything. It sounds interesting . . . but also very sad. This has been my most highly anticipated book of 2015 and I really hope that it lives up to the hype.
Here is a question for all my lovely readers:
What makes you #morehappythannot?
For me, it would have to be these two beautiful faces.
My husband and my dog are my family. They are the best family I could ask for.
Also, my books make me more happy than not.
And of course my lovely readers. Thanks to all of you who keep reading!
So tell me: what makes you #morehappythannot?
