To be blunt Ari was quite annoying without enough redemption to make me really care for him.
Hector is where it's at though. He's relatable, cute, and an overall enjoyable character.
The story of Ari's parents was lackluster too because they were trying to hold him back because the family business needed him and that never gets a good resolution. It sends the wrong message. Yes, your parents can stop your dreams if their small business is in trouble enough.
But despite the negative things I've said, this is a short and sweet story. Worth a borrow from the library.
Also Cameron needs a butt kicking. And that's me using PG language.
