Aristotle and Dante volume 1.
Average Rating:
4.7 stars
Notes:
This is, honestly, one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. Ari is a bit of a loner with growing anger issues, trying to understand his place in the world. Dante is sure of himself and outgoing, even if he is an oddball. Their friendship (turned romance) is like two trees grafted together, growing into a more beautiful whole. This story is honest, vulnerable, and inspiring. I am moved to tears every time I read it. This is a book that makes you feel seen and, once seen, tenderly accepted.
Description:
Fifteen-year-old Ari Mendoza is an angry loner with a brother in prison, but when he meets Dante and they become friends, Ari starts to ask questions about himself, his parents, and his family that he has never asked before.
