"How could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana?" 

What the fuck... That's all... Just what the fuck... Its 3 am and I just finished this... And I- it was so bittersweet, and it made me happy, and jealous, because why am I so alone... But like my god...

"Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" by Benjamin Alire Saenz is a beautiful coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity, family, and friendship. The book follows the relationship between two young boys, Aristotle and Dante, as they navigate the complexities of growing up in 1980s Texas. The writing is poetic and the emotions are raw, making for a truly impactful reading experience. My only criticism is that the pacing is slow at times, but overall I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a thought-provoking and touching read.

2017 review:
Those five stars relate to plot. It really got to me. Just a story of two teenagers, best friends, and life in 1987. It's heartbreaking because it's easy to relate to (no matter your gender, race or sexual preference). I really loved this book.

2023 review:
I decided to re-read this book on a whim. I honestly don't know why. I mean, I already had a pile of books I'm currently reading. Simultaneously, I had forgotten how much I love this book. Not because it's eventful, or fast-paced and action packed (like most books I read these days), but because it's so incredibly human. I don't know if I appreciated how beautifully it depicts the teenage condition last time I read this novel, or how it demonstrates how complicated unconditional love can be. But man. I ugly cried a couple times near the end, which caught me off guard. Because I honestly did not remember how much I love this book, just that I loved it.

Cute lovestory with some dark elements along the way. It sat on shelf for years collecting dust, now I kinda regret it bc I would enjoy it much more if I read it when I bought it. 
3/3.5 out for 5. It's fine, I found it somewhat lacking but still enjoyed it.
