Are We There Yet? by David Levithan
4.0
This book is a quick, relaxed read because it doesn't have many pages, because most pages aren't even fully filled and because of the short chapters with the changing points of view.
What I enjoyed most about this book was the language, Levithan is quite a genius when it comes to describing feelings/thoughts/architecture/whatever. His style is so original and poetic without being boring or incomprehensible.
It was funny that Danny's and Elijah's journey took them through almost the same cities I've been to in Italy myself. It was much easier for me to imagine all the places they visited and it was also nice to see them through different eyes. Danny and Elijah are mostly amazed by everything they see while I didn't like much of what I saw when I visited Rome and Florence.
One last thing I liked was the Julia/Danny twist. I really didn't expect that one.
