Is anyone reading this?How are you guys finding the book so far?
What do you think of Ari and Dante?
I am only on page 36/Chapter 8 but I'm really enjoying it! At first the style was strange but I got used to it and hooked very quickly. There's just something so calming about the relaxed eveyday-ness of it. In terms of Ari and Dante - I like them so far. Don't think I've read enough yet to form a solid opinion but so far so good which is always nice when starting a new book - comfortable characters!
Yes I already finished it though lol. I agree with the above comment about the type of writing, it took me awhile to get into it but it does have a calming effect for some reason.
Part 3/chapter 5I'm really really enjoying this! I got a good hour of uninterrupted reading last night (very very rare) and I'm still enthralled with the 'lots happens while nothing really does at the same time' style.
I want to write more but can't find how to mark my post as a potential spoiler :)

yay!! so happy you enjoyed it so much :)) the writing was a really good part of it for me
I finished this 2 weeks ago but couldn't post because I actually finished it while in hospital. This book had such a lovely message at the end that I actually had to take a moment at the end to pause and think about it. The style that I wasn't keen on at the beginning absolutely made this book! I loved both the boys by the end and while I wanted to say I didn't see it coming, I think subconsciously I somehow did.
I agree with Panthea, it is definitely a new favourite that I can't wait to reread in the future (not something I say often - even though I reread stuff often, I don't finish something and immediately want to reread it!)
