I really loved this book. I do not give 5 stars very often, but I think this one definitely deserves it. I loved the author's writing.

It is very hard for me to put into words why I loved this book.

4.5 stars!!!

Ugh. I love this book. Ari and Dante and, eventually, Legs. Their parents. Their friendship. The fact that they're romantic relationship was just so fucking effortless, so natural, so sweet.

This is one of those "hyped" books by book bloggers. At first I thought it was just another overhyped book, but I'm so so glad I read this now. I won't forget this one for a while. ...more
