If you follow me on twitter you might have noticed that I simply loved this book.

If Griffin is ever to rebuild his future, he must first confront his history, every last heartbreaking piece in the puzzle of his life. He’s losing himself in his obsessive compulsions and destructive choices, and the secrets he’s been keeping are tearing him apart. But no matter how much they open up to each other, Griffin’s downward spiral continues. To make things worse, the only person who truly understands his heartache is Jackson. But now, the future he’s been imagining for himself has gone far off course. Even though Theo had moved to California for college and started seeing Jackson, Griffin never doubted Theo would come back to him when the time was right. When Griffin’s first love and ex-boyfriend, Theo, dies in a drowning accident, his universe implodes.

I absolutely loved this book and the characters within, and would definitely recommend anyone who likes to read realistic fiction books. This book deals with topics from anywhere between love and grief, and the manner in which it is executed was perfect. History Is All You Left Me is an unforgettable book which combines both the past and the present in order to hope for the future. Every part of the book was so descriptive, and I never put it down when I started reading it. On the flip side, the present chapters added sorrowful feeling to the story but had subtle amounts of hope sprinkled in. These chapters had a lighthearted, happy vibe to them and were fun to read. The sections describing the past showed Griffin reminiscing about the times he had with Theo. I loved the writing style, which was written in two different ways, past and present. Griffin describes his thoughts so vividly that you could feel the love and hurt that he feels throughout the book. The character development was spot on with Griffin’s mindset drastically changing from the start to the end. To say that this book was amazing is an understatement.

Throughout the story, Griffin recalls the times he had with Theo while navigating through bouts of grief, hurt and mental illness. In order to let go of the love that he had, he must revisit the memories of the past. The novel, History Is All You Left Me, centers around Griffin after his ex-boyfriend, Theo, dies in a drowning accident.
