Since Aaron can’t stay away from Thomas or turn off his feelings for him, he turns to the Leteo institute’s revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is. Aaron’s crew notices, and they’re not exactly thrilled. When Genevieve leaves for a couple weeks, Aaron spends all his time hanging out with this new guy, Thomas. But grief and the scar on his wrist keep him from forgetting the past completely. MORE HAPPY THAN NOT is young Bronx-born author Adam Silveras debut novel. With the help of his girlfriend Genevieve and his overworked mom, he’s slowly remembering what it might feel like.
