why they might enjoy it:
swimming is kind of always mentioned in this book, as dante is very much fond of the waters (and ari). i just kind of remembered keonho while rereading the book, and i think he'll like it very much. two boys with the whole world to discover for the rest of their lifetimes. sometimes, i look at keonho and think about how big of a future he has, either he chose swimming or the idol life. while this is a book with a lgbtq+ main theme, it is also a coming-of-age piece, making me think that keonho would really be into it.
content note: violence, homophobia, substance use
