Synopsis: 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.

Review: I thought this book was pretty good. The writing is good and the world building is amazing. The characters are interesting and for the most part it’s a decent read.

However, I just felt like I was over the book by the middle of it. I continued on reading it, but I just feel like it was really predictable and almost circular by halfway through.

Verdict: It’s okay, you should read it if you like.
