Adam Silvera
A special Deluxe Edition of Adam Silvera's groundbreaking debut featuring an introduction by Angie Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give; a new final chapter, More Happy Ending; and an afterword about where it all began. In his twisty, heartbreaking, profoundly moving New York Times bestselling debut, Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx. In the months following his father's suicide, sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto can't seem to find happiness again, despite the support of his girlfriend, Genevieve, and his overworked mom. Grief and the smile-shaped scar on his wrist won't let him forget the pain. But when Aaron meets Thomas, a new kid in the neighborhood, something starts to shift inside him. Aaron can't deny his unexpected feelings for Thomas despite the tensions their friendship has created with Genevieve and his tight-knit crew. Since Aaron can't stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound happiness, he considers taking drastic actions. The Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-altering procedure will straighten him out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is. Why does happiness have to be so hard?

"You guys, this book. This powerful novel is my favorite of 2015 so far. I cannot remember the last time I cried so hard and for so long at the hands of a book. All the feels. I also can't believe that this is a debut novel! Mr. Silvera has earned himself a place on my auto-buy list."

"I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I started reading this book, but I definitely wasn't expecting what I got. Once I got to around chapter 6, I physically could not put this book down. It is a pretty heavy read, but it is absolutely magnificently written. This book is gut-wrenching, but truly incredible. It will sit with me for quite some time. <br/><br/>Adam Silvera has a tendency to write things that truly make you feel very raw and powerful emotions. <br/><br/>Some trigger warnings for abuse, homophobia, suicide, violence, suicide attempt and self harm."
