'History Is All You Left Me' is a powerful and poignant young adult contemporary about first love, grief, the flawed nature of relationships and ultimately the enduring power of friendship. 
 This story is beautifully written and deeply emotional, with fantastically three-dimensional characters, nuanced relationships and a healthy number of pop-culture references. There is a quiet intensity to this story, an aching sense of loneliness and devastation that is profoundly human and incredibly relatable. This book hurts in the best possible way, but it is also funny and adorkable and so very heartfelt. 
 I really appreciated the way the author sensitively and authentically portrayed anxiety and OCD, as well as the complex and messy emotional journey that accompanies a deeply personal loss. 
 Highly recommend to readers who love diverse contemporaries or those looking for sex positive M/M representation.
