I loved this book as much as I loved the first one. I loved the writing style. I cried, laughed and I felt every emotions.
I cried when Ari's father (Jaime) died. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that he will die. I cried with his mother. I thought of the love they shared between Jaime and Liliana. And his last words were Ari and Liliana. I cried in that part.

I felt the anger when Ari met his elder brother. OMG! His brother is a homophobic and terrible person. He is so mean. My blood was boiling when I was reading that part.And Dante and his family including his little brother, how they stood beside Ari and his mother when his father died. And when Mr.Quintana was crying because he lost a great friend. OMG! I wept hard in that part

I loved the scenes between Ari and Dante. The love they shared is so beautiful. How they supported each other. And the character development of Ari was outstanding.
I overall enjoyed this book. This will be my favourite book of all time.
