" A novel about family and friendship "
With this book I fell in love with the writing style, I actually realize that I loved this book after I finished reading it. This book was a fast read I read it within 24 hrs, its really a beautiful book.
First of all, I would like to say that I loved the narrator, Aristotle who nicknamed him self Ari - is an angry fifteen year old boy, who doesn't feel comfortable being around people his age. Everyone around him think that he's lonely and sad but what they ...more

This book is told from Aristotle’s perspective and tells the story from when he met Dante and how they became friends almost instantly, and how their friendship/relationship grew stronger over the years, and what they would each do for each other in different situations.
This book is incredibly popular in the YA community, and I can sort of see why. It is a well told story and it has a lot of great messages and themes, and the parent figures in this one is great. It has solid friendships.

Beautiful story about two boys friendship in high school. They are both Mexican and they struggle with their sexuality. The parents in this book were very understanding and supportive.

What should I say about this one? That it's funny and sad and heartbreaking and absolutely beautiful? I don't think it's enough... But right now I just can't think of anything. I simply LOVE it!!!

"'Dante's not the only one who missed you.' It was the most beautiful thing an adult who wasn't my mom or dad had ever said to me. And I knew that there was something about me that Mrs. Quintana saw and loved. And even though I felt it was a beautiful thing, I also felt it was a weight. Not that she meant it to be a weight. But love was always something heavy for me. Something I had to carry."
I feel like I have been overusing the word beautiful in my reviews lately, but I ca ...more

I lived the writing style of thus book. The two main characters were very realistic insightful. Although, this want necessarily the type of book I normally read, I did like it.
*actual rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars*
This book was the cutest thing ever! Dante is one of the best characters I've read lately, and the family dynamics in this book are awesome. The only sticking point I have is that things take way too long to come together if you will. I wanted a lot more couple-y stuff than actually happens, especially as people sell this as a romance story when it's really more of a coming-of-age/self-discovery story. But other than that, the book was great. I got through it s ...more
