He finds that hanging out with Thomas brings him a sense of happiness different from Genevieve and his other friends, and he soon has to face what these newfound feelings mean. Aaron then considers turning to Leteo Institute’s cutting edge memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out (quite literally in the figurative sense), even if the consequence is forgetting who he truly is. Aaron then befriends the kid on the other block, Thomas. This summer his supportive girlfriend, Genevieve, leaves him for art camp and he’s left all alone. More Happy Than Not follows Aaron Soto, a guy with a smile-shaped scar on his wrist to remind him of a period of overwhelming grief and misery. But the pain can only help you find happiness if you can remember it. Other times pain acts as a compass to help you get through the messier tunnels of growing up. Sometimes pain is so unmanageable that the idea of spending another day with it seems impossible. (I mean there is a smile on the original cover…) But, gosh, was I wrong. I dived into it totally assuming it would make me laugh more than cry. It’s sort of funny how bad I am at skimming my friends’ reviews, because I totally missed the crucial memo about More Happy Than Not: it is a sad book, not a happy one as the title suggests.
