This is one of the most beautifully written books. I loved the characters deeply, despite the earnestly struggling melancholy that Ari, our mc was feeling. Being 15 is hard. Being 15 with a brother in prison who no one will talk about, a father with PTSD, struggling with anger issues and discovering who he is supposed to be, all while traversing a new and exciting friendship that challenges him in every way?? That's a lot. This book is gorgeous and moving and beautiful. I loved it so much.
