Really great book, with some beautiful thoughts and feeling within it. Written in such a metaphorical descriptive way which is great read. There were a couple of plot holes, where I became confused
specifically the death of Rico which seemed to come from nowhere
. There were also some parts where I felt I went a little far on content, specifically  with some of the speaches the characters did within the book
like with Cassandra's speach she basically outed Ari I felt
. But overall a really nice book to read with some beautiful quotes and metaphors to take away with you after reading.
