The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

3.0

I enjoyed this book, but it was a bit slow at the beginning. I had a hard time connecting with the characters at first, but once the book sucked me in I was rooting for them. The journey Sal went on to figure out who he was and how he fit in the world was deeply affecting. His whining about his life did get a bit annoying at times. Sam’s story was also very affecting, and I loved the friendship between her and Sal. Fito was an enigma, and it was easy to see how Sal was able to pull him into the family fold. There was a lot of tragedy to wade through and stories told. I found it a little messy at times and sometimes Sal’s story telling wasn’t that reliable. However, I enjoyed watching the plot unfold through Sal’s eyes. I liked how the chapters were titled. The ending felt a bit abrupt.
