The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

3.0

Saenz's second YA novel was not quite as good as his first, "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe," but it was still a very good book. It is a fantastic coming-of-age novel for today's teenagers that explores the struggles of self-identity in a senior year of high school. It explores what it's like to have a parent who is gay, a friend who is gay, how to deal with conflict and harassment, how to handle death of a loved one, and so many more things that teenagers often face. A wonderful novel for teens to read, especially those who are struggling with something. The only caveat for this novel is that it might be long for a teenager. This is not a book for a struggling reader or a reader who gets disinterested easily. The story takes time to develop and the characters take a while to grow; however, it's certainly worth the wait and the time investment for young readers and adults.
