What a super cute freaking story. Hector was hands down my favorite character. He's just the sweetest, most pure gentle boy I've met this year. Ari grew on me but there were times that his teenage-ness wore at my nerves. He was really realistic though, so I'm not faulting it. Actually, most of the characters felt very dynamic and real, and they brought this story to life.

Thoroughly enjoyed this and will absolutely be looking out for other books by this author!
