I watched the movie on my first date with my girlfriend. Then she got me the book for my birthday bc it's one of her favorites. I loved the movie and I love the book! I can see why it is one of her favorites. 

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!

I’m so happy there is a sequel haha. And I want to see the movie! It was difficult for me to understand Ari in the first half of the book or so, but maybe it’s because I don’t have the experience of being a teenage boy growing up under the constraints of toxic masculinity/machismo.
