PROS:
👟The fact that the story was less concerned with forcing a defined sexuality and more concerned with giving the characters space to find themselves.
🐕Both families are top tier
👟Ari’s slow acceptance of his feelings even when they were glaringly obvious to everyone around him
🐕Dante just being himself, including the hatred of shoes
CONS:
👟By the time we learn what happened to Ari’s brother, I was as frustrated as him by the secrecy.
🐕I wanted to scream about the homophobia, but the book is set in the 80’s. It is frustrating but accurate for that moment in time.
👟👟👟👟👟 out of five sneakers tossed down the road
