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:

The ordeal is physically and emotionally grueling, as Charlie deals with awful counselors and oblivious cishet, white camp mates. Together with her new closeted trans friend, Charlie pushes back against the group's accepted norms and the insidiousness of White Feminism, and discovers herself among the sweeping vistas of the mountains.
