Dear fellow Babblers,

More Happy Than Not is a whirlwind of tragedy, misfortune, self-discovery, and an utmost pursuit of happiness in a reality where happiness is taken for granted and lost more easily than it is gained. This is a book of struggles between race, sexuality as well as oneself. It’s everything that I could ever hope for in a modern YA. This is a page turner that goes back in time recreating the demons of a teenager’s past and his determination to erase it all, even if it means losing more of himself than just his past.
