Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - Benjamin Alire Saenz

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the cover:

"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."

I've been meaning to read this forever, and now I finally have. Worth the wait! Such a beautiful book, and as an added bonus, the audiobook is read by Lin Manuel Miranda, who is incredible. Loved every minute of it. I don't know if such a thing actually exists, but if it does...this might be the perfect book. The last sentence legitimately gives me chills every time I read it.
