I resonated very deeply with this book. Especially Ari's character. His complicated relationship with masculinity was very similar to my relationship to mas ulinity as an AFAB nonbinary person. I know this wasn't intentional but that's pretty cool. The reason is isn't a 5 ⭐ is because some outdated terms and the fact it doesn't have anything from Dante's POV. (I want to know all his sweet thoughts about Ari and life)
