This book is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read, every chapter had my heart aching or me crying, but I felt so connected to both Ari and Dante throughout the entire book. Sáenz simultaneously broke me and put me back together again. I cannot wait for There Will be Other Summers.

it was cool even if at the beginning Aristotle really pissed me off but you know i finally like this story. I think i didn’t like Aristotle it was because i didn’t really confess to myself that i’m a bit like him.
it’s very cool :)
