Publisher's Summary
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is the beloved cult classic about family, friendship and first love, from award-winning author Benjamin Alire Sáenz. This lyrical novel will enrapture readers of John Green, Love, Simon and Call Me by Your Name.
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison.
Dante is a know-it-all who has a unique perspective on life.
When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they develop a special friendship – the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about the universe, themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
This incredibly moving and powerful Printz Honor Book follows two teen boys learning to open themselves up to love, despite the world being against them.

Cute book
I enjoyed this book the further in i got. I enjoy the discriptions of cultural food. Sometimes a little repetitive and flat but it weirdly has a charm. Simple. Easy. Like listening to the motion of waves.

Masterful
This is a masterpiece. A brilliant coming of age story which explores identity, race, sexuality and love. No tropes to be found here - only honest, nuanced characters.
