I finished this book in a day.

The characters were so loveable and the story and development was extremely relatable even for someone who should have nothing in common with the characters.
It was so heartwarming and refreshing to see supportive parents depicted and I found myself really growing attached to them as characters. Plus Ari was written so perfectly well for me, the way his anxieties and feelings were described so well was perfect and made me understand him and relate so much.

Overall an amazing book, I was drawn in and hooked from the beginning. Something different from my usual reads but so worth it.
