I thought this was such an AMAZING book. Once I got started it was hard to put down. I loved Ari and Dante as main characters. I think their friendship was so pure and true in the beginning. Granted they were two opposite kind of people. Ari is quite, keeps to himself, and has a little bit anger inside him. Where Dante is so open and carefree. As the story continues they start to find themselves and try to figure out going from boyhood to manhood. I think I made the right decision to listen to the audiobook because Lin-Manuel Miranda narrates the book and did such an amazing job doing it. Can not wait to read the next book.
