About this listen
A lyrical novel about family and friendship from critically acclaimed author Benjamin Alire Sáenz.
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.

Great book, great reader!
Having read the book once (or twice) before, I knew what I was getting into before purchasing the audiobook. It's a great story with character that you genuinely feel for, and the insight from Ari makes it easy to relate to his emotions.
Lin Manuel Miranda does a fantastic job distinguishing the voices of the characters and building a personality for each one through his voice. Because the book is written from the perspective of one of the characters, it really lends itself to being performed this way, and it shines!
Overall fantastic, and I can't wait to see what else this author writes!

a book I've never connected with more
While my book discography isn't high, what I can say is that I've never connected to a main character more than I have with this book.

A magical lush hot summer read
I admit I read this once before in print, but it was only when I went back on audio to truly understand the story. It’s rare to have a time this soft, lush and loving when presenting two male leads.
There’s something magical and loving in the way the author writes his books that’s present in his other newer work. Perhaps more fiction that reality but nonetheless a great read and strong characters.

AMAZING
I have loved this book for years. I found it by chance a while ago. I'd read it but with my free time becoming scarce I decided to check out the audiobook. When I saw who narrated it I knew I had to listen to it. BEST DECISION!!!! Lin did SUCH AN AMAZING FANTASTIC job!! he made it so easy to fall back in love with these boys and their families and their stories all over again!! and hearing the Spanish stuff pronounced properly added a nice level to it I never could!!
