More Happy Than Not (by Adam Silvera)

This has everything I love in a young adult novel: LGBTQ content, an unreliable narrator, all the feels.  I don't want to give too much away, but the main character is Aaron Soto, a Puerto Rican American from a poor neighbhorhood in the Bronx, dealing with the death of his father and his own recent suicide attempt. He has an amazing girlfriend, but when he makes a new best friend named Thomas, he starts to question things about himself.

It is not in any way light and fluffy. It vividly depicts life in the projects, homophobia (internalized and otherwise), and it is not wrapped up neatly in a bow. All of that creates a huge impact, and the ending is amazing. Oh, and you may have noticed the scifi tag: this takes place in a world where there's a place you can go to have memories erased, which one of Aaron's friends has done too.

I'm excited to see there's an updated edition with an epilogue, which I have not yet read (on hold at the library of course). But even without it, this novel is well worth your time.
