De onverklaarbare logica van mijn leven by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
5.0
This book was a wonderful read! It touches friendship, family and mourning of loved ones, in such a stunning way for a young adult book. Which makes it not only highly relatable, you could also learn some lessons from it.
I love the writing style that Benjamin uses. The Dutch book publisher promotes it as a hot long summer that never seems to end, and it so true! Although this book's topics were very gloomy for most of the plot, I just felt the love that these characters have for each other poor from the pages.
The friendship between these characters are so gripping that I actually wanted to take some time out of my schedule to catch up with my own friends. I think these characters deserve so much love and in case you haven't noticed, I started loving them too.
Family is also very important in this book, some characters have a bad one, and end up with their chosen family instead. I find it difficult to try and explain the feelings this book brought up with me, but there were a lot of them. Mourning loved ones unfortunately also was a part of this book. It was beautifully done and although some might argue after reading that there was too much drama, I found that it was exactly right, you just can't choose the inexplicable logic of life. I found that really losing a loved one is not much addressed in a slow way in most ya books, especially in fantasy what I read, so it was really nice to read a book that dealt with it the proper way.
In summary; go read this book because it wrecked me up, in a good way.
