More Happy Than Not

Product Information

Poignant ... So engrossing that once you start it, you won't be able to put it down. Don't say we didn't warn you. We can also use “happy” as a predicate adjective after the noun it describes, connecting it with a linking verb, as in “I am happy.” “Happier” Is a Comparative Adjective This is how Thomas lives his life, one misfired dream after the other. That journey may stretch for a lifetime, but even if he doesn’t discover that spark until he’s an old man, Thomas will die with wrinkles he earned and a smile on his face.” In his twisty, heartbreaking, profoundly moving New York Times bestselling debut, Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx.

When someone says that they are “more happy than not,” they’re indicating that their happiness is greater than any sadness they might be experiencing. While we use the adjective “happy” to describe a person’s state of being, we generally use the adverb “happily” to describe how someone performs an action. This means that we use the expressions “happily” or “more happily” to modify verbs. In his twisty, gritty, profoundly moving debut—called “mandatory reading” by the New York Times—Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx. Adam Silvera explores the inner workings of a painful world and he delivers this with heartfelt honesty and a courageous, confident hand… a mesmerizing, unforgettable tour de force.”

Beyond the Book

Adam Silvera explores the inner workings of a painful world and he delivers this with heartfelt honesty and a courageous, confident hand. Combine these with a one-of-a-kind voice and a genius idea, and what you have is a mesmerizing, unforgettable tour de force." unless that's one of those things we don't say anymore? in which case, replace with some imaginary game called "sad, sadder, saddest." or maybe it's just the usual hollow feeling you live with, passing him in the halls and pretending like you don't see the stony indifference in his face as he walks by, still, always, all this time after he ditched you.

The Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-relief procedure seems too good to be true to Aaron Soto - miracle cure-alls don't tend to pop up in the Bronx projects. But Aaron can't forget how he's grown up poor or how his friends aren't always there for him. Like after his father committed suicide in their one bedroom apartment. Aaron has the support of his patient girlfriend, if not necessarily his distant brother and overworked mother, but it's not enough. As with other comparative forms, we can contrast someone or something at different points in time or use the phrase “more happily than” to compare two people, groups, or things. In the second sentence, we compare the subject“you” in the present — using “than” as a conjunction— to “you” in the past, which is in the nominative case. The nominative case indicates that the pronoun is the subject of a verb, in this case, “were.” Formal Writing Uses “Than” as a Conjunction vs. Preposition Finally, for adjectives with three or more syllables, you will use “more” in front for a comparative adjective and “most” in front for a superlative adjective. A mind-blowing story . . . A story about love, and acceptance that will absolutely break your heart."

BookBrowse Review

More happy” does not follow the spelling rules for a two-syllable word ending with “y,” where you will normally use -er instead of adding the word “more” in front of the word. A debut as deft as it is sharp, as honest as it is assured, and, above all, extremely moving. Silvera pulls his punches with an energy, daring, and intensity that left me spellbound - and reminded me why I love to read. But there is the happiness he promised, too. He loves me without being in love with me and that’s all I can ask of him. I don’t even need to hear him say it to believe it.” This book is so freaking sad. Forget plots about an uninterested love interest or an absent parent or a group of vampires gone awry. More Happy Than Not transcends the typical YA story by incorporating themes of loss and self-regret in mature, oftentimes open-ended ways. Yes, Adam Silvera ties in comic books, video games, and other normal aspects of adolescent life into the book. However, he still manages to capture and reflect the convoluted suffering so many teens go through on a day-to-day basis because of factors like their sexuality. I 100% wish that this book had been there for me when I struggled with my gayness as a middle school student, and I feel so glad knowing that it is available to young folk now.
