More Happy Than Not

What if you could erase your most painful memories to find happiness? In a near-future Bronx, a revolutionary memory-alteration procedure offers sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto the chance to forget his father's suicide, his own struggles, and the confusing feelings he's developing for his new friend, Thomas. As Aaron grapples with whether to undergo the procedure, you'll explore the complex relationship between memory, identity, and happiness. This powerful story forces you to question what you would sacrifice for a clean slate and whether true happiness is about forgetting the pain or learning to live with it.
