Last few minutes for next month! Here I want to come up with one of the best reads of June. (I wrote it last night)
Not a review, just wanted to share! Maybe I won’t make any sense.
I wanted to write a review but don’t know what is stopping me to do so. I don’t want to write a review, but want to say something about my wrapping read of June.
I am glad that my little bee, Komal stung me to read this book… A peaceful sting though And I am that I pick it up soon. I really don’t know whether I was reading or just living in their Universe. The second one is more accurate to say.
The Universe of Ari and Dante!
Slight glimpse about the book; Even though Dante stays away in Chicago, Ari always keeps on thinking about Ari as if he is being there with him. Ari’s life and his own world express how really a lonely fifteen year old teenage boys’ life is. The phase! We all had such transitions after that particular age, hadn’t we?
This Ari has his favourite parking spot in the desert merely like that he had a deserted life, the life of solitude and living inside your head. The teenagers’ thing? I still remember.
Every time the book seems to be anew once I picked it up after give it a pause. I read something new literally every time but the story remains the same. Maybe I am the one who is evolving here! Ain’t I?
Every page is telling me something again and again. I wasn’t a person who got into romance or any YA fiction. Maybe sometimes I read them. But not much into them. I was more like a person who much do with Historical fiction. But this book got me. Maybe it has something to do with Historical fiction or His story!
Flipping through the last two pages are hard for me. I don’t know what will be the end or just the beginning. That is what I wrote down when I was at the end of page 357/359.
I wanted to say more but I can’t!
I don’t know whether I want to recommend this. But if you say that you haven’t read this yet. I may push you to read this! But I won’t give any guarantees whether you will be the same person as before you were.
PS: This book will be my favourite forever after The Kite Runner, The Great Gatsby, A Man Called Ove from this year’s reads, so far. But definitely not the last one.
