History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera
4.0

Rep: #ownvoices for OCD, anxiety
TW: grief, panic attacks, death

This book made me cry by the first chapter. I think this is a great novel that shows what it's like to have OCD. As a person with anxiety, I felt the anxiety representation was super relatable. This book has a really great take on grief and losing someone close to you. You see how all of the characters react and act out in their grieving process. Overall, I really enjoyed this book for all of that and it was written very well. I got so many great quotes out of this book. However, Griffin was my least favorite character and he just annoyed the hell out of me with all of the stuff he pulled...it was so unnecessary but I get it was apart of his grieving process. I just wish he could've handled some circumstances better and wasn't shitty to the other characters.
WADE DESERVED BETTER.


Now all I want is for Adam to write an AU (alternate universe) companion novel where Griffin dies and we see how Theo reacts. Hopefully, he would react/act better than Griffin did.
