This was my second time reading it as I needed a book I love to re read to get my out of my reading slump and I had forgotten how beautiful this book is. I can positively say it is my favourite book I have read so far. The writing is beautiful as well as the characters. I adore Ari's and Dante's relationship and the differences between them that make it work so well. I relate a lot to Ari, his feelings and the way he feels about the world and it was beautiful to read about a character that I could relate to so well. I loved the different themes throughout the book and the exploration of sexuality, friendship, love, alcohol & drugs, family and mental health. There were moments throughout the book where I cried, felt the anger Ari felt and more and I feel like its so good to be able to a read and really be able to understand and feel what the characters are feeling/experiencing. Being a queer, gender diverse teen and I really enjoyed this book and enjoyed the queer representation and how it shows what it can feel like to be a teenager.
I thoroughly loved this book and definitely recommend!
