As others have said, the pacing was off - it is a very slow start, and then the ending and the romance are rushed.
Aside from this, the plot was choppy and confusing at times, and honestly, Ari was so unlikeable I couldn't enjoy any of it. Especially at the middle and toward the very end of the book, it feels like Ari doubles down, projecting onto Hector and letting him take the blame for everything bad that happens, which confirms the fact that he has learned nothing and had zero character development throughout the entire book.
It is a sweet concept, I love a queer young love story - I like the potential this book has, but it didn't follow through for me.
