I was hesitant at first but I adore this book. I’ve never read anything in this style but it’s amazing. Ari’s commentary (particularly about his parents) always hit too close to home but I think that’s exactly what I needed. Only reason I’m not giving this five stars is because there were some brief unnecessary aspects of the story I didn’t really enjoy.
