A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021)
This Printz Honor Book is a “tender, honest exploration of identity” (Publishers Weekly) that distills lyrical truths about family and friendship.
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fifteen-year-old Aristotle (Ari) has always felt lonely and distant from people until he meets Dante, a boy from another school who teaches him how to swim. As trust grows between the boys and they become friends (a first for Ari), Ari's world opens up while they discuss life, art, literature, and their Mexican-American roots. Additionally, the influence of Dante's warm, open family (they even have a "no secrets" rule) is shaping Ari's relationship with his parents, particularly in regard to a family secret; Ari has an older brother in prison, who no one ever mentions. In a poetic coming-of-age story written in concise first-person narrative, S enz (Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood) crystallizes significant turning points in the boys' relationship, especially as Ari comes to understand that Dante's feelings for him extend beyond friendship. The story swells to a dramatic climax as Ari's loyalties are tested, and he confronts his most deeply buried fears and desires. It's a tender, honest exploration of identity and sexuality, and a passionate reminder that love whether romantic or familial should be open, free, and without shame. Ages 12 up.

SÚPER RECOMENDABLE
Todo el mundo debería leer este libro. El nivel de inglés es muy fácil y comprensible. MA-RA-VI-LLO-SO❤️
Great the way it’s written, the content is toxic though.
Sad the author doesn’t understand what he is teaching, really sad. This books shows the little hope people have. Specially the ones that think the only important things to get are feelings... the characters are full of anger, depression, confusion. And by the end of the book, they are still lost in the universe, they didn’t discover nothing but pain.
They didn’t seek the truth, and they didn’t find it. Not everything is relative in this world, and we should be more careful when we speak on homosexuality; this sinful lifestyle has killed too many people; physically, emotionally and psychologically.
It’s a shame that people think they are experts on this topic only by reading fiction books, instead of studying the facts behind this behavior.
If you don’t know what to do with all this guilt, the answer is Christ rather than your own sinful desires.
