This book was pretty good the slowness of it made me lower the rating but the ending and its lead up made up for that I will be reading the sequel at some point. I really liked characters especially Ari and Dante I liked their friendship even if it took the longest time for things to change since one of them was in denial the whole time. I really loved their parents both sets they were such great characters very supportive they had their issues but I was happy to see parents in a YA book since that can be rare. The plot was interesting if very slow moving it starts with Ari and him starting his day at the start of the summer he then meets Dante and things slow down they meet each others parents Ari gets hurt and is angry all the time Dante leaves and Ari sets out to heal other things happen Dante comes back and he gets hurt so Ari gets even angrier figures himself out with the help of his parents and finally he is with Dante it was a pretty happy ending. So overall I really liked this book will be reading the sequel at some point.
