5.0
More happy than not is so cleverly written by Adam silvera, the plot leading up to the plot twist really makes you completely oblivious to what’s going to happen. It was totally unexpected. This book covers so many important issues we face in society and I think it’s a very good read.
Favourite quotes (potential spoilers) :
- “it sucks that a word that’s supposed to mean happiness can somehow feel warped”
- “happiness comes again if you let it”
- “he loves me without being in love with me and that’s all I can ask of him”
- “I will do my best to always find the sun in the darkness because my life isn’t one sad ending - it’s a series of endless happy beginnings”
- “sometimes pain is so unmanageable that the idea of spending another day with it seems impossible”
