\"\"\u201cHistory is All You Left Me\u201c<\/i> is a contemporary young adult novel by Adam Silvera. The main character\u2019s name is Griffin, and he is coping with the unexpected death of his ex-boyfriend Theo. We go back and forth between learning about their history and the present day, which is after Theo\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Although this sounds really sad it contains a lot of light happy parts during the \u201chistory\u201d segments of the book, and plus it is LGBTQIA, which is always a plus. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a heart-wrenching love story. Griffin was a very raw fascinating character to follow. He has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and struggles with compulsions throughout the whole book, but I never felt like his OCD was at the forefront of the plot.<\/p>\n

Sometimes characters that have a mental illness act as if that defines who they are as a \u201cperson\u201d which can be quite frustrating for me as a reader because I want to see what else makes them who they are. Silvera did a beautiful job with writing such unique, quirky characters, and after reading his first book \u201cMore Happy Than Not\u201d <\/i>I can see that he has grown as an author and I cannot wait for his next novel.<\/p>\n

I recommend this book to anybody who wants a coming-of-age story about learning how to be yourself after losing your other half. Thank you, Adam Silvera, for writing such a spectacular book.<\/p>\n
