“The boy with no direction taught me something
unforgettable: happiness comes again if you let it.”
I’M NOT
OKAY
This book ripped my
heart out and stepped on it. I
wish I could say that it made me smile or laugh or dream, but that would be
lying to you and myself.
Synopsis
in the months after his father’s suicide, it’s been tough for 16-year-old
Aaron to find happiness again–but he’s still gunning for it. with the support
of his girlfriend Genevieve and his overworked mom, he’s slowly remembering
what that might feel like. but grief and the smile-shaped scar on his wrist
prevent him from forgetting completely.
when Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron spends all his time
hanging out with this new guy, Thomas. Aaron’s crew notices, and they’re not
exactly thrilled. but Aaron can’t deny the happiness Thomas brings or how
Thomas makes him feel safe from himself, despite the tensions their friendship
is stirring with his girlfriend and friends. since Aaron can’t stay away from
Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the
leteo institute’s revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten
himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is.
“Happiness shouldn’t be this
hard.”
I don’t know why it took me so long to read this book. But I’m happy that I
finally read it.
The first like 50
pages I was like what am I reading?!? And after those pages it gripped me and
it didn’t let go. The writing was beautiful and very easy to read. But I did
have a little problem with this book.. the street games and their descriptions
they were so long and detailed that it
was getting a little boring. Also the story hasn’t a lot of action. This
bothered me a lot in the beginning. But the end made up for everything. This is
also the reason that it doesn’t have a full 5 stars.
The book is not
beautiful or wonderful but it is definitely unforgettable! The characters will
be in my heart forever.(maybe a little to dramatic..) go read it! NOW!
