I have the perfect song for this book! Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky If this song doesn't make you at least wonder about the secrets of the Universe... then you're too normal. *.*

It's just the perfect soundtrack to Ari and Dante <3

I had my doubts about reading this book... 1) Being GLBT it was out of my comfort zone and 2) All the hype around it is always un arma de doble filo but that title... I couldn't keep it out of my mind... And I'm so glad I gave it a chance.

Wow that book was so so beautiful. It made me so sad but also had me smiling. I read it so quick, it was hard to put down. This story is about family, friendships and growing up. I loved Ari.

I found this story amazing : the characters were so lovable. I have just finished to read, and I already miss them so much!
The plot was absolutely perfect. It was easy to read and addicting.

It's definitely a favourite!

But I admit that there were too many dialogues, and too many unrealistic dialogues.
It took me a while to enter this story because of the lack of descriptions and because it sounds very ambitious to build such an incredible link between two amazing boys just after they met.
