I want to join this...

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

I'm already started it this morning when I had a few minutes. I'm going to switch between E-Book and Audiobook. (read by Lin-Manuel Miranda!!) It's a reread for me, but it's been a while since I last read it.

[Pragya]

I'll start this tomorrow. Trying to finish my current read.

23 % (view spoiler)[I just fell in love with this book all over again. I love the writing and the slowness. I can see why some people might not like it, but for me, it's just awesome. And normally I just don't like books with that much talking and so little plot.

I love the scene with the sparrow. I think it shows how different Ari and Dante are and how much both of them care.

I'm wondering if we get to see more secrets from Aris Dad and brother. I think so but I can't remember. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

49 % (view spoiler)[One thing I like about Ari is, that he likes being alone. I like being alone, too. I can realte to him in that way. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

80 % (view spoiler)[This part with the aunt always gets me. How could her family make such a big deal about her sexuality to shut her out? I can't imangine ever doing that to someone I love. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

100 % (view spoiler)[Even though I knew how the story would turn out, I cried when Dante was in the hospital and Ari was just so angry that he wanted revenge. This book's always maken me emotional. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Till chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Dante and his father has easy going relationship. (hide spoiler)]

I really like Ari. Going through so many serious injuries is really difficult. I would like to know Dante's thought too.
I wanna know Ari's brothers story badly now. So much Suspense.

(view spoiler)[ I was able to connect with Ari as I used to be like him when I was young. I liked being alone in my head most of time.
Ari taught that guy a lesson. I know beating someone was wrong but sometimes you need to stand up for yourself and your loved ones.
It was so good how Ari's parents made him realise in the end.

(view spoiler)[I was angry myself when they beat up sweet, little, gentle Dante! But you're right, beating up someone is never the right response.

And it was so sweet how Ari came out to Dante in the end. <3 (hide spoiler)]

"In your dream. You were looking for me."
"I'm always looking for you," I whispered.

52% (view spoiler)[ Wow I knew people say the chapters are short but I didn't expect to get through more than half of it so fast lol
