A review by lalazu
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
5.0
This was. So. Beautiful.
For the whole course of this book I was flung back violently to the time /I/ was 15, angry, sad, hated myself, was ashamed of everything, and wanted nothing more than to disappear and find myself.
As a teen with intense identity issues... this hit extremely close to home.
The way this was written, the feelings, the turns, the conflicting emotions... growing up is difficult. Coming to terms with yourself, with your wants, sexuality, your very personality - it's confusing. It's hard. And this is a perfect representation if you ask me.
I love that these boys are introverts but not in a bad way. God, just thank you so much for this book. I love it so very much.
