History Is All You Left Me

Avid readers love all the books that Adam Silvera wrote but especially love History is All You Left Me. The reason is that it's not only so excellent written, there's not only pain and hope, it's not just about this guy falling in love with another guy, not only loss and grief and healing, but the main character also struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's great to see not only third-sex characters but characters struggling with mental illness (and characters with both aspects) in a book of young literature. History Is All You Left Me does not trivialize or romanticize any of the issues it deals with.

History Is All You Left Me is a beautiful work about love and loss by author Adam Silvera, promising to bring readers emotional sobbing moments. The book follows the character Griffin, who has just lost her boyfriend in a tragic accident and now struggles with psychological shock and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Griffin is the protagonist in the novel History Is All You Left Me, which takes place after his ex-boyfriend, Theo, drowns in a drowning accident. To let go of the love he once had, he must relive his former memories. Griffin recounts the times he spent with Theo while dealing with sadness, hurt, and mental illness throughout the novel. Silvera portrayed a gay love story with many nuances, affirming the proud existence of the letter B (bisexual - bisexual) in the phrase LGBT. Finally, the readers will see that History Is All You Left Me is an outstanding novel that mixes the past and the present in order to provide hope for the future.
