3.75

3.75 - the book was slow paced for most of it, then sped up at the end. The last 30% of the book was intense but more like 4, 4.5 stars. The first part being slower brought the overall rating down for me. 

The audiobook narration was a 4.5, maybe higher for me. Very well done!

3.5

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize every chapter was always from Ari’s point of view. There were a couple times I thought it had switched to Dante, only to realize the entire book is from Ari’s POV. 

This book made me feel so many things. I relate strongly to the detachment Ari feels for relationships and life, and it was really comforting to read about a character like that and not magically change their outlook and everything gets better.
