i did not finish this book because at this time i am very sensitive to the topic of suicide. i picked it up because it was by adam silvera without reading the description and it just isn’t a good time. i fully plan to pick this up again in the future.

It turns out that this isn’t just a story of finding acceptance and love as a young person. Because I thought that’s the way the plot would go. I was interested in the concept of the Leteo procedure and how it would play a part in the plot. 
 I didn’t like Thomas to be honest. So I wasn’t really fond of the way the story seemed to unfold at first.
 …And then the plot twist hit and it started to be more captivating. 

 

From that point on it got really sad. Because Aaron just wanted to forget. And as he decides he wants to remember all of the bad events and his sexuality he can’t anymore. It made the story so much better in a heartbreaking way. Because this isn’t just a story where the main character ended up with a partner and everyone remained friends. That made it more realistic and therefore bittersweet because Aaron tries to find happiness within himself and not by getting together with one of his friends in the end while he forgets more and more about his life. 

 

 “And while I wait, happiness exists where I can get it. In these notebooks, where worlds of memories greet me, almost like a childhood friend who moved away for years and finally came back home.
I’m more happy than not. Don’t forget me.”

DNF’ed at 35%. I have liked some of Silvera’s other books so I gave this a shot. I just couldn’t get into it and found that I didn’t care to read on about what happened with the characters. Once I realized that DNF’ing was an option I was immediately over it. (I swear, I’m a goldfish that sometimes forgets this.) I’m sure many people like this, but it wasn’t for me.
