Perfect for you if...

You're searching for a coming-of-age story that feels both intimate and universal, about finding yourself through someone else.
You want a book about LGBTQ+ identity that doesn't shy away from family conflict, anger, and the messiness of growing up.
You love stories where quiet moments—conversations, silences, understanding—carry more weight than plot twists.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced narratives with high stakes and constant action rather than character-driven reflection.
You're looking for a romance where the relationship is the central plot; this is fundamentally about self-discovery and friendship first.
You need books that resolve all tensions neatly by the end; this one sits with ambiguity and open questions.

About this book

Aristotle is an angry teen whose brother is in prison. Dante is a know-it-all with an unusual way of looking at the world. When they meet at a swimming pool, they appear to have nothing in common. As the two loners begin spending time together, they discover a special friendship that changes their lives. Through this friendship, Ari and Dante learn important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be. The novel explores identity, family, and friendship through the connection between these two teens.
