Praise for More Happy Than Not "Poignant . . . So engrossing that once you start it, you won't be able to put it down. Don't say we didn't warn you." --Teen Vogue "This is a cry-on-the-subway book, so watch out." --MTV.com "Silvera's debut is equal parts gut-punch and warm hug, not to mention sweet, funny, creative, and a really welcome entry to YA with regard to having characters coming from a lower socioeconomic background." --BN.com "Silvera, like [Benjamin Alire Sáenz], is a beautiful writer. Aaron's story is heart-wrenching, funny, inspirational, and eye-opening. This is a really special novel from an extremely gifted new writer." --Bustle "[A story] of love and expectation and self-discovery, and of declaring yourself to a world that will never give you a soft landing." --B&N Teen Blog "Adam Silvera explores the inner workings of a painful world and he delivers this with heartfelt honesty and a courageous, confident hand.
