» PLOT «
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. As the loners start spending time together, they form a friendship that will teach them the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
This book is divided into 6 sections and each one of them are phenomenal. The obstacles and barriers that each of them went through were great at depicting each character and their thoughts/feelings.
» READABILITY «
This book took me a while to finish, and I ended up using the audiobook, however, that really isn't the fault of the book. (March and April are historically terrible times for me.)
» CHARACTERS «
Aristotle and Dante are great main characters. Not only are they lovable, but I absolutely love Dante.
Not to mention I love all of their relationships, either with each other or their families.
Finally, likeable characters. :)
» WRITING «
I adore the writing in this book. I've never read a book that had so many quotes that I've wanted to remember forever. The way this book is written is amazing and so beautiful.
» OVERALL «
This book is the type of book that makes me love being a reader.
