I just finished reading “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” by Benjamin Alire Saénz. WHOA. It was A LOT. Beautiful, melancholy, intense. Not a cozy read, but if you want the heartbreak of being a serious teenager on the outskirts, it’s a good one. There’s a reason it won all the awards. #book
