THIS BOOK!!! I loved it, it was def a coming of age novel and was totally an amazing read. I cannot wait to buy the sequel and read it immediately!! The characters were likeable and you feel empathy for what they're dealing with. Ari definitely sorta had a personality similar to Holden from CITR. It was just amazing!! (I'm reading it for school so it kinda has to be on my mind) I just liked them together and I wished that there was a dual pov so we can see what Dante thought as well. But it was amazing nonetheless.

The book was absolutely amazing until the last ~50 pages. The transphobia ruined it for me. Also the ending felt a bit rushed compared to how things happened before. But all in all the book is great and I would definitely recommend it. Although the author is not a good person.

This was really good! I loved how it’s just teen boys figuring themselves out. This also deals with some heavier topics. I did really like both Aristotle and Dante. I do feel like the relationship was a little off. I don’t know why.
