4.5 stars. This was truly one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. 
 The only reason this doesn't have five stars is that I would like to have seen a perspective from Dante, but I get that the book was centred around Ari, and him coming to terms with him being angry and sad and growing up. 
 It didn't really have a plot, it was slow burning yet the writing style was kind of choppy and nondescript, so it didn't drag on. There were some beautiful quotes throughout the book, it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside when I read it! 
 I loved the friendship between Ari and Dante, that it wasn't fake. They had arguments, but they could talk to each other without really talking. They could spend time together just doing nothing. 
 I loved the ending, it made me so happy, and I love how everything tied nicely together. The emphasis on family was very well appreciated and done, neither families were 'perfect', but they all worked together. I feel like I relate more to Dante than Ari, which is why I'd prefer more in his perspective, but it was very interesting to read through the eyes of someone I didn't really relate to. 
 This book was honest, true and warm, and evoked many happy feelings inside of me, especially in the beginning and end. 
 Lovely book, I really enjoyed it!
