this book... was special. you can tell it's special from the moment u start reading it. i binged it in 8 hours, a single day, and i was like "damn". ari's accident? did not expect that. that was wild and it shocked me. i kinda loved the dante in chicago bit coz they were both growing into themselves apart from each other and growing up too. i related a lot to ari as a character and the emotions he had in him that he had trouble letting out. but my favourite thing about this book (aside from ari and dante's bond which sometimes reminded me of abby) was how both their parents were written. they were literally such good parents bro. ari had a tumultuous relationship with his own parents in the beginning coz neither understood the other but the way it develops throughout the book was wonderful and they become such solid pillars for him. and dante's parents UGHHH I LOVE THEM SM THEY'RE SUCH GOOD PARENTS DANTE I WANNA BE IN UR FAMILY. the only thing i didn't like was the lore with ari's brother. ig i can understand how it fits into the story but i feel like it took up too much space? idk i just wasn't a huge fan of that.
