This kinda felt like one of those TV movies you randomly find that leaves you wanting more then you don’t think about it again for 3 years. It was cute though.
Before I go into this, I have no idea how to phrase how I feel about this book. I did like the writing, the story and the characters. Basically everything. But I hated reading the book. Something about the switch between the interrogation rooms and the story telling of Amir didn't allow me to fully dive in. Everytime I was about to fully dive into the Rome Story we were back at the interrogation room and vice versa. Made me feel kind of disconnected. It took me ages to go through the shortest chapters just because I didn't really feel with the characters. I feel like I only know the Rome Amir when he was with his friends and nothing else about him. I didn't need the short parts of his family in the beginning of the book when Amir was talking about how he got to Rome and his time there. That threw me off as well... Idk it is super weird. I didn't like the ending much either. It was so sudden and I feel there still is so much tension in his family that hasn't been resolved yet... Feels weird. Also I feel super bad about that poor bicycle that is all alone there now waiting. Amir better let someone know about it. The poor thing. (Yup, I actually felt bad about this. I am weird, ok?)
It is such a privilege, you know? To get to be yourself, all of yourself, in this great big world. This book was so much fun! It made me want to pack my bags and fly to Rome myself. The representation was great, I liked the humour of it and I was rooting for Amir. I really enjoyed the found family aspect of the story, it's one of my favourite tropes and it makes me feel all warm and mushy. I loved the exploration of ethnic identity and sexual identity, and how Amir slowly learns to accept himself. He found friends who accepted him and he flourished in their presence, which really highlights the importance of friendship. Adding to that, the writing was great and felt transported to Italy. It was such a quick and easy read and I had a lot of fun. I would have loved it to be a little longer because I'd like to know how Amir's life continues!
