Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenzis a beautifully written and heart-warming book. This book follows the captivating life of two Mexican-American boys and their growing up. Set in Texas in 1987, the two boys face many hardships regarding identity, relationships, and sexuality throughout the story. I love the writing style in this book. It accurately and thoroughly describes a teenager’s relationship with themselves, their friends, as well as their family. Sáenzis’s use of imagery is quite frankly some of the best I have ever seen. This book contains a rollercoaster of emotions, but it is the best kind of rollercoaster to go on. I recommend this book to people who like fast-paced reads and people who love to immerse themselves in stories.
