I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was an interesting read. It follows two boys, Dante and Ari. Dante is more open with himself and knows what it is he wants. While Ari on the other hand is more soft spoken, and isn't sure how to feel sometimes. Ari's character really caught my attention. He's more complex than Dante, and you have a lot to learn about him throughout the book. It's more realistic the more complicated a character is. I liked how the relationship between the two came about. They found out secrets about themselves they didn't know before. Dante is open with his sexuality and Ari doesn't seem so comfortable with it at first. He doesn't stop Dante from doing anything, he just kind of lets it happen. I believe this is when he starts to realize who he really is. I feel like this story can be relatable for many people. It has many realistic factors and events that happen throughout the book, that can happen to everyday people.
When Ari saved Dante, I was really shocked that whole scene happened. It was such a selfless move on Ari's part, and it goes to show you how much Ari really does care about Dante. Although Ari doesn't want any praise from it, what he did was really brave. Dante ends up moving to Chicago, and they write letters to each other. Dante writes the majority of the letters. I can relate to this aspect of the story in the sense of having a relationship with someone who's far away. It can be hard and difficult at times. Overall I thought this novel was a good read, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a good story.
