I can relate to Ari and how he sees himself and the people around him and the pain it can cause yourself and others when you don't talk even though that is the last thing you want to do. I love how this is written like poetry it makes the story and the streams of thought that Ari has flow so smoothly that you fly through reading it. It feels like you are getting vignettes or moments in Ari's life and are not following his every day but you never feel lost and unclear of the timeline.
I am happy that I decided to re-read this book because I have found a surge of love for this story and the characters in it. The first time I read it I remember loving it but now reading it again I understand why I enjoyed this book that much. I learned more about myself and grew. I saw that similar journey through Ari and I was able to recognize it now more than I did in the past.

wasnt vibing with this book in the beginning, but i started to fall in love with the characters and get really invested in some of the plot threads.
no spoiler spoiler: the parents going back on all their stances at the end felt like it came a bit out of nowhere, but people do do that sometimes.
the characters feel like real people, and the pacing feels almost like it could be a biography/diary of real events.
