My mom does this weird shoulder bounce I’ve never seen her do before, and it might be the happiness of a mom seeing her son dating, but I’m not a fan. “I’m coming in for a hug.” She hugs both Theo and I at once. “I didn’t think this day would come for years. I’m so excited.”
Did you know that picking up an Adam Silvera book will result in heartache and yet you will keep coming back for more? History Is All You Left Me You is a torrent of emotion, but not one you will regret picking up. You can read my review here. Cover is linked to Goodreads.
From the Goodreads Synopsis:
“When Griffin’s first love and ex-boyfriend, Theo, dies in a drowning accident, his universe implodes. Even though Theo had moved to California for college and started seeing Jackson, Griffin never doubted Theo would come back to him when the time was right. But now, the future he’s been imagining for himself has gone far off course.
To make things worse, the only person who truly understands his heartache is Jackson. But no matter how much they open up to each other, Griffin’s downward spiral continues. He’s losing himself in his obsessive compulsions and destructive choices, and the secrets he’s been keeping are tearing him apart.
If Griffin is ever to rebuild his future, he must first confront his history, every last heartbreaking piece in the puzzle of his life.“

Looks a lot of fun, this book. Also, tackling some serious issues. I’m intrigued.

Oh, boy! I remember when my then teenage son brought home his first girlfriend. I was happy to meet her, she was a very nice girl, but I surely didn’t get that excited… LOL. Weird indeed, but probably humorous for reading. Happy weekend!

I think a lot of this stems from the relationship being a long time coming. Happy weekend!
