Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Aristotle, a brooding loner, expects another solitary summer until he meets Dante—expressive, poetic, and unafraid to offer swimming lessons. Their bond, forged by a Texas poolside in 1987, becomes a sanctuary from family tensions, schoolyard cruelties, and the silent storms of adolescence. Through shared books, desert drives, and whispered confessions, they map the constellations of their own hearts. But as years pass, a car accident, a distant move, and unspoken longing threaten to pull their worlds apart, forcing each to confront who they are and what they mean to one another.
