Also, Ari irritated me for most of the book, even though I know he was purposefully characterized as sensitive and sort of passive. It felt pretty formulaic and stereotypical, so I was never really shocked or emotional at anything that happened. Small town, summer, slow burn romance, family drama, a mistake that leads to more family drama and a breakup, then they make up. I saw so many glowing reviews for this that I basically harrassed my library into buying a copy, but I'm sad that my lasting impression of it is that is was just kinda average? There were certainly things I loved about it like the character development and the setting at a bakery and the gorgeous art style and how Hector would call Ari out when he was being a baby or manipulative, but I thought the rest of the plot was just kinda typical.
