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.
3 Reasons You Should Read…
History Is All You Left Me
by Adam Silvera
- It’s a new book by Adam Silvera so that automatically makes it an absolute must read. Let’s be honest for a second, Adam is hilarious, sweet, and a wizard with words. (He didn’t even pay us to say this!) That’s probably the only real reasons you need to read his words, but we’ll go ahead and give you others anyway…
- Without a doubt, characters are one of the things that Adam does best. Be prepared to fall hard for Griffin. We promise it’s going to happen. Big time.
- Before you open this one up, prepare for feelings. Lots and lots of feelings. Everyone needs to cry sometimes and reading History Is All You Left Me is guaranteed to make you go through a box of tissues or two. But don’t worry too much, though he might break your heart into a billion pieces, Adam also brilliantly and deftly puts it all back together again in the most amazing way!
