Young Adult Contemporary Romance discussion

This thread is to discuss More Happy Than Not.

I'm in, but I may have to start later in the week. I have a book I need to finish and I want to read the buddy read, too!

me too

Manhunt on Family Day (Not sure what chapter # but that's the title of it) (view spoiler)[I love the cast of characters so far! I really want to nickname myself Me-Crazy! Haha. His girlfriend is so sweet for sticking by him and seems like a lot of fun. I love their trade days. I'm sad she's going to art camp. I did think it was funny that he was talking to his "package" and telling it to work. Haha! I'm really enjoying it so far. (hide spoiler)]

I'm going to read this book sometime this month. Just not sure when yet.

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[I love Aaron & Genevieve's relationship. Her birthday date was so cute! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[I thought Aaron's Scream sheep were pretty funny. I feel bad that he's ignoring his girlfriend's call. (hide spoiler)]

Starting this now!

End of Part 1 (view spoiler)[I like how open minded Aaron seems to be compared to his friends. (hide spoiler)]

BTW, I'm headed to the mountains later today. I'm hoping I get reception so I can continue to update on here. If not, I'll keep notes and then add them when I return Sunday. :)

Part 0 (view spoiler)[I feel bad for Aaron. :( the memories are so sad. (hide spoiler)]

Here today, gone tomorrow (view spoiler)[I'm so sad for Aaron. His dad was so horrible. Collin let him down when he needed him the most. the only true support he had is his girlfriend, brother and mom. I get why he wanted the procedure but it sucks. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Awesome birthday and they are so cute together. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I'm happy Aaron decided not to go ahead with getting the procedure again. But I'm unhappy a little bit with the ending. I wanted to know what happened to Aaron in the end. I wanted to know if he got his short term memory back. Otherwise, I loved this story. It surprised me a lot. (hide spoiler)]

I finished too (view spoiler)[I wish I hadn't read this book back to back from Forbidden, because it was another emotional read for me, so I definitely have some feels about this book. The author covered a lot heavy topics in this book, sexuality and how you can't change who you are, homophobia, suicide, things in life don't always turn out the way you want them too...some heavy stuff. Yet, he package his messages in a fantastically written story, so different with an array of unique well written characters. I loved the diversity in this book and that it is written so smoothly into the story. It's a full package of different races, different sexuality, different social classes, etc, it's feels very real and the author makes you feel like you are apart of Aaron's world. What is devastating is after all Aaron has gone through his desire to forget and find happiness hurts him even more. I so wanted to see him get his short term memory back. Yet with all the heartache in this story there is an underling theme of hope and finding happiness among even the bad. Thankfully the author mixes it with all his unique characters making me laugh and smile while still hitting me hard and breaking my heart. (hide spoiler)]

I agree! (view spoiler)[I wish I would have had a break between the two. I loved the way you just put into words the different aspect of the story. You did it so nicely! (hide spoiler)]

Oh I just realized this book is good for the March challenge a back stabbing friend and the 2016 challenge for a Science Fiction Novel!! :D

It's also good for the March tools one!

I agree with both of you guys!!!! So glad I can use this for two challenges!!!! Thanks Chris.
