The continuation of this beautiful story is just as amazing as the first book. The title is a great description of this novel. Ari truly dives into his new found self trying to navigate his love for Dante and his new found emotions. 
I was found crying for not only the sad moments of the book, but for the amazing writing and happiness that Ari was experiencing. I relate to Ari in the way he feels about himself and seeing him grow into a more confident and happy person was such an amazing feeling. 
I am so grateful that Sáenz wrote the second novel because it does nit disappoint. I think everyone should read the duology!
