A review by thebookishmel
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

3.0

Really a sweet book. I love how Ari and Dante interact with each other, but I think my favorite aspect (which is totally a side-story but like whatever) is Ari’s relationship with his family! They’re all so incredibly in tuned with each other even when it feels like they aren’t. Ari struggles to connect with his dad, but him and his mom share the same kind of humor. It’s also really interesting to see where Ari’s at with his brother’s situation. At 16, life is difficult and weird and awkward, but we really get to see Ari’s growth throughout it all. There’s so much that contributes to the growth that makes this novel so great! I really enjoyed listening to it!!
