I like this book so much! It's been on my "too read" list for awhile. I'm sorry I waited so long. Aristotle (Ari) and Dante are 15 years old when they meet at a swimming pool in 1987. Dante is very secure in his place in the world with devoted parents and a comfortable life. Ari's life is more uncertain with a father suffering from PTSD and a brother in prison. Soon they are devoted friends but Dante's openness about his homosexuality is uncomfortable for Ari. However, that doesn't stop Ari from risking his life to save Dante's. This is a brilliant coming of age novel and has the awards to show for it. The audiobook is read by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
