Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
5.0
I started this book this morning and I finished it this afternoon.
If that doesn't say something, then I don't know what does.
I ABSOLUTELY loved this book for reasons
1) The characters! I absolutely adored the characters! They were as complex as normal humans are. They felt like real people to me and in my book, that's a really high praise.
2) The parents were present. Most of the time, parents are left to the side or not completely developed. You can see how differently the two boys were raised because of the way their parents were, shaping them to be the people they were.
3) It was a book about the discovery of love for yourself and for others. It was about a very complex boy trying to learn the secrets of life because he isn't living the best one so far. And it's just amazing how the characters change. They HEAL.
The characters really touched me with their stories and I felt as if Ari, Dante and their families were real because they were all just so complex and amazing!
I love this book to bits! :D
