i did enjoy the book and it was rlly cute to read

the only part i didn’t like is the ending when the parents literally had to make him realize that he was in love with dante that felt a little rushed

besides that i loved this book rlly cute!!

This book truly reads/listens like the voice of a 15 year old. The story of growing up and discovering who you are was told with such a wonderful mix of cynicism and sincerity that you can’t help but empathize with Ari. Lin Manuel Miranda did a fantastic job narrating, and it’s one of the best audio recordings of a book I have ever listened too.

Great book! All the listed triggers are very very minor in my personal opinion and not a main focus or graphically described in more than a couple sentences.
