warning: this book is written in first person
wasnt vibing with this book in the beginning, but i started to fall in love with the characters and get really invested in some of the plot threads.
no spoiler spoiler: the parents going back on all their stances at the end felt like it came a bit out of nowhere, but people do do that sometimes.
the characters feel like real people, and the pacing feels almost like it could be a biography/diary of real events.

I haven't read a ya book in such a long time. This book was a heartwarming, accurate coming of age book. Filled with incredible friendship. The themes in this book are life lessons for all ages.

Amazing read. It's so sweet and so tender. It's tells the story about the struggles to be a human being in a world that can be cruel. It's even harder if you don't see yourself fitting in anywhere, like you don't belong. It's simply about being a human being with thoughts and feelings that want to be heard. The need to be someone, to yourself, your loved ones and the world around you. To exist is to know your alive. To live is to feel, to explore, to discover.

Discover the secrets of the universe is a journey of becoming the most authentic version of yourself, with all your imperfections and flaws but also all the beauty and greatness you carry within you. It's about stumbling and falling onto unexpected things that may pull you into the deep well of the unknown. Wich may be scary and disoriented at first, but then when you get back out of it you are so much richer than you were before. Expanding what you once knew to be something you could have never imagined.

It's a story about redefining love withing yourself and love ones. How complicated love in itself is and to translate even harder sometimes. It shows you that everyone carries scars of life with them; but it's a choice to let that define you or let it transform you. Most of the time we drown in a sea of sadness or anger. Creating a world of illusions were we are the ones directing and controlling everything that may or may not overcome us. But at the end of the day we know the lying has to stop and we have to confront reality heads on. Go to the root of the problem. Thats the beginning of a life long process, cause healing takes time.

But the power of love and the virtue of patience really is all we need sometimes.
