The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

5.0


Wow, what a beautiful and emotional coming of age story.

I had high hopes reading this because I absolutely loved Sáenz’s “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”. This book did not fail to impress.

The story follows Salvadore, a boy adopted into a Mexican American family, going through life trying to figure out who is. Many topics covered such as faith, homophobia, addiction and death. It was lovely to read about the compelling relationships that Salvadore had with everyone and the impact they had in his life. I loved all the characters but more importantly the relationships they had with each other.
