Beautiful simplicity. The story just builds up like building blocks and develops into something beautiful. I could relate to Ari so much. He is totally just like me in his thoughts and the kind of situation he deals with. And Dante was the kind of person I aspire to be. 
 This novel also reminded me of the play, "The Laramie Project," which made me cry so I almost cried - and laughed, towards the end.
