A heartbreaking and poignant tale of learning to deal with loss, History Is All You Left Me gives us Griffin, a teen convinced he'll be able to reunite with his ex-boyfriend, Theo — until Theo drowns while swimming in the Pacific Ocean. While mostly a narrative about grief, the book has well-handled depictions of sexual activity, the loss of virginity, and the process of coming out. Silvera was also lauded for the novel's representation of OCD.
