So sweet. I loved the journey of both boys. I would love to read Dante’s POV. It was wonderful. And thought provoking.

This was such a beautiful and emotional book. I loved reading it and learning more about the characters and their relationship. 

When I was reading this, I completely got into the book and just read.

Did I enjoyed reading this book? Yes
Did I think that this was the best book ever? Well, no!
The characters are amazing but at some point, it seems that there is no plot whatsoever. Its a good book and I understand that some people are very close to the book and its characters. But, personally, I'd say it's not for me.

Book was recommended to me by a colleague. I can see the appeal for young people, and I think it’s important for them to have access to books like this one. I might’ve loved the book more if I was the target audience.
