If Benjamin Alire Sáenz wrote it, I’m going to read it and I have NEVER regretted it.

This book shows the beauty of love stories that so often go untold. The love story of friends and chosen family. This book filled my heart with joy. I loved getting to see these characters love and care for eachother through the hard parts of their life. I loved seeing Fito be welcomed into their loving family. I wish the world had more loving families willing to bring others in. This book captures the thoughts and feelings of many young people and questions we struggle to awnser. I loved the line that said we grow up to be the people we chose, or somthing like that. I liked seeing the main character relize his agency over the person he will be.

Now I usually try to stay away from YA books, since usually the problems the characters have make me roll my eyes. It was the case with this book for most of the reading (which is very fast and also annoyed me a little bit to have chapters that were so short), but the last 20 pages or so gave it some additional stars, as it is very clear how the protagonist actually grows.

I loved Dante and Aristotle and I was worried that this book wouldn't be anywhere near as wonderful. Thankfully it was not disappointing.
