The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
3.0
I read another book by this author, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, and loved it. So I was really hoping I would feel similarly about this one. But I just wasn't as immersed into the story as I wanted to be. I really liked all the characters, but it felt as if I was watching everything happen from a distance, so when say something sad happened, I was like "yeah wow that sucks", but I didn't feel the sucking. Lol, did that make any sense? Alot of things within this book felt very surface level to me, but then it didn't, but then it did... I don't know.
Don't get me wrong, there were alot of things I really liked about this book: the writing made it really easy to keep flipping page after page which is no surprise coming from this author, the characters were interesting to read about (Sal's dad...man I just wanna hug him), and there was such refreshing portrayal of both familial relationships and friendships. But overall I was left unsatisfied.
