Okay so I started this book last February and have only just got back round to it, so I started it from the beginning. I’m actually enjoying it so far and I’m glad I started it again as I quite literally have remembered nothing!

don’t even know if there’s any point in logging this rn, but i just read the start of the book whilst listening to an album. i read this when i was young and loved it because duh zoella. idk about now but i guess we’ll see

It is so clear how much Ari has matured since the first book. He still feels like the same Ari but now he is more open and thoughtful in ways that he never was before.Rereading it makes me notice how much growth is shown in the small details too. Even after all these times through, watching Ari figure out who he is and how to share himself with the world feels so real and meaningful.

I just finished the first part and it is hitting me how much I still relate to Ari. He feels so restless and unsure about everything and it is almost like he is carrying a weight around that he cannot explain. I see so much of myself in that.Reading it again makes me feel even closer to Ari and also more excited to see how Dante keeps changing the way he sees the world

I just read the first few chapters of this book again and I forgot how much I relate to Ari right from the start. The way he feels so out of place and stuck in his own head is exactly how I feel sometimes. It is crazy how fast I connect with him all over again. I already know where the story goes but I am still so excited to go through it again. The problem with my life is that its someone else’s idea <3

(Spoilers)


Frances has found Carys! I do remember this part and i’m very excited to get to the last part of the book because i’m sure that’s when they all roadtrip to Aled’s uni and help him. idk it’s been a while since i’ve read this. The writing is throwing me off a little bit but it’s Y/A so i guess it’s what you’d expect:)

Not much to update because i haven’t read much more but i must say i completely forgot the slight nod to #TROYLER and dan and phil. Crazy for a girlie that loves tumblr in the year 2025. Honestly the thing im picking up on the most is the music references, we’ve had : Animal collective, The 1975, vampire weekend, skrillex, weezer, madeon and a couple more. All these references really show it was written in 2016<3

Pretty much at the halfway point now! Hoping to finish it tonight or tomorrow. (Spoilers/ referring to stuff in book- I’m at the point when Aled’s Mother has just cut his hair. One thing i did remember about this book is Daniel and Aled’s relationship and how much i loved it. I’m finding that to be the same this time around. Watching their story unfold is super cool. I’m intrigued to see what happens next!
