“I'm sorry, but please don't be mad at me for reliving all of it. History is all you left me.” Oh, where to start with this one. I have a lot of feelings about this book, and I guess I’ll just go ahead and get this out of the way: despite the fact that I still gave it a decent rating, I’m tremendously disappointed, because I thought for sure that this would be a 5-star read for me. I adored Adam’s most recent release, They Both Die at the End , to the degree that I put him on my a

4.5/5 StarsI'm sorry, but please don't be mad at me for reliving all of it. History is all you left me. Hey you!Yeah, you.Do you like happiness?And living?And having your heart be perfectly okay?Then this is not the book for you, but I think you should still read it anyway. Now, I have a confession, I read this book back in January. According to Google, 178 days have come and gone with this book existing in my life. And in those 178 days, I've lied to everyone stating this review was coming

I'm at about 4.5 stars with this one.Oh, man, this book...Theo was Griffin's first love. They were best friends first, and then one day, Theo surprised Griffin by expressing his feelings for him, especially since they had never discussed either of them being gay. (This was Theo's secret; Griffin's was revealing to Theo that he knew he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder and he wasn't quite sure what to do about it.)"It's going to sound stupid, and I wouldn't ever say this out loud,

I didn't like the storyline, the plot was messy and somehow problematic and, yes, it deals with death and grief. And I did not like any of the characters. When I woke up this morning, the book was under my bed. I don't know what happened but I guess I got exhausted crying for every alternate chapter ever since the very first chapter. This is one of those books which I would think twice before recommending it.But I cried my being out while reading the first 70 percent of the book so much that I t...

SIT TIGHT MY FRIENDS BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE BEST DAMN YA RELEASE OF 2017.I sincerely do not know to start this review because I just finished reading 5 minutes ago and to be honest, I'm having trouble breathing because I'm so overwhelmed. History Is All You Left ME was nothing less than a masterpiece; it's enticing, it's thrilling, it's reflective, it's heart-breaking. It's everything you could possibly want it to be and more and I cannot recommend this book enough to you a...

"Just because someone is forgiving, it doesn't make asking for forgiveness easy."History Is All You Left Me is Adam Silvera's second novel, and it may be even better than his debut More Happy Than Not.

Left behind and feeling lost and lonely in his grief, he recounts their history, their relationship, first-times, happy times and not-so-happy...

history is all you left me literally fucked me up in 12 dimensions. this book moved me and effected me on such a deep level I really don't know what else to say about it. I read this book as part of a book club, and while I vaguely knew the plot, and had heard lots of good things about Adam Silvera - I didn't know what to expect exactly.this book absolutely destroyed me I read it three months ago and I swear I think about it every day. It really touched me, and had such a big impact on me both a...

A compelling and cerebral exploration of friendship, young love, OCD, grief, healthy relationships, damaged relationships, broken hearts, broken people and selfishness--all from the point of view of an endearing but fascinatingly unreliable narrator. A completely different read from Adam Silvera's first phenomenal book, MORE HAPPY THAN NOT, and yet just as powerful. Absolutely a 5-star read.

I started this book because I wanted a book that would get me in my feels, and although this got me teary a few times, it wasn't as sad as I was expecting it to be.There was actually a lot of depth to this that I wasn't expecting. All the characters are so flawed and it was really refreshing to not be a typical loss story. It was so much more complex than I thought it would be and I was really refreshed and impressed. Even though Griffin makes questionable choices, you still root for him. It was...

"I don't know if I can stand hearing about your happiness with him, but maybe it'llhelp me understand you better. Maybe it'll help me add pieces to the puzzle of your life."Theo and Griffin - best friends since grade school - became 'boyfriends' when they were sixteen. Both with wonderful supportive parents...I laughed when Griffin's dad said..."That's wonderful, but no more sleepovers". Soon, in a very funny scene, Griffin and Theo run into Griffin's dad while in a drug store. Busted, Griffin i...

Edit: 7.25.17Ok here I am, like two-ish days after I read the book... And I'm still dead. This book was amazing.If you aren't crying by sentence number one I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to ship your ass to Area 51 cuz you are not. Human. I dare you. Read the next sentence without crying, or least without feeling the urge to cry.You’re still alive in alternate universes, Theo, but I live in the real world, where this morning you’re having an open-casket funeral.Could you do it?? Doubt it.I've add...

I had a feeling before I started this that it wouldn't be my thing. I don't read a lot of YA, and especially don't read a lot of YA contemporary. But I wanted to give it a chance because it was part of my 2017 BookTube Recommends project. However, after reading 25% of the book I know it's not my jam. I couldn't click with the writing style, especially the switching back and forth of the 1st person and 2nd person tenses between chapters. I might've been able to spend a few more hours and finished...
