Thank goodness for Lin's narration submitted by cekandera on June 15, 2018, 5:19pm The audiobook read by Lin-Manuel Miranda (of "Hamilton" and "In the Heights" fame) is what saves the story. Well, not "saves" in the sense of "this book would be dead without it" but it definitely helps. I don't know if I would have liked Ari as a narrator if he wasn't read in Lin's voice. Even apathy is enchanting when read by Lin. The story itself, however, is beautiful and heartbreaking. All to real and honest at points, but beautiful in its simplicity.

Definitely worth reading! submitted by mickplu on July 27, 2021, 5:08pm A different take on a coming-of-age story. All of the characters are well developed and very lovable.
