I saw a lot of myself in the Ari and Dante for different parts of them.
One of the best books to end the year on.
A must read for anybody who likes any genre!

Die Geschichte mit ihren Charakteren sind einfach unglaubblich wholesome. Ich hab das Buch so gerne gelesen, weil es einfach super süß war.
Die Geschichte aud Atis Perspektive war so gut erzählt, die Gestaltung der Kapitel meiner Meinung nach richtig gut umgesetzt und der Schreibstil hat toll dazu gepasst.
Tatsächlich hat das Buch eher wenig echten Inhalt und lebt nicht von Spannung, sondern eher vob fer einzigartigen Dynamik der Charaktere und den Gedanken der Hauptfigur. Es finden sich ganz unterschiedliche Themen, welche vor allem durch die Freundschaft drr bedein Hauptfiguren durch die Handlung getragen werden. Die beiden Jungen sind noch etwas jünger (15-17) und es ist auch eher als Jugendbuch zu empfehlen, aber ich fands supersüß und bin um ein paar Tränchen nicht drumrumgekommen.
Insgesamt liest es sich außerdem daher super leicht, macht ein positives Gefühl im Bauch, bringt zum Nachdenken und und und.
Ich bin super begeistert von der Umsetzung
Die einzigen beiden Kleinigkeiten, die mich ein wenig gestört haben
- ich hätte gerne auch Dantes Perspektive mitbekommen, verstehe aber auch die Entscheidung, es einperspektivisch zu lassen
- die Beschreibung, dass die beiden, aus dem nichts zu lachen anfangen, kam so oft vor, dass es ein wenig lächerlich wurde und mich prrsönlich dann gestört hat. Kann aber (as always) ab der deutschen Übersetzung gescheitert sein...
