Summary

 ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE PRODUCED BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA

The highly anticipated sequel to 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.

A love story like no other.

In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys fell in love. Now they must discover what it means to stay in love and build a relationship in a world that seems to challenge their very existence.

Ari has spent all of high school hiding who he really is, staying silent and invisible. He expected his senior year to be the same. But something in him cracked open when he fell in love with Dante, and he can’t go back. Suddenly he finds himself reaching out to new friends, standing up to bullies and making his voice heard. And, always, there is Dante – dreamy, witty Dante – who can get on Ari’s nerves and fill him with desire all at once.

The boys are determined to forge a path for themselves in a world that doesn’t understand them. But when Ari is faced with a shocking loss, he’ll have to fight like never before to create a life that is truthfully, joyfully his own.

All stars

The young people who read this book have been given a gift so beautiful and wise that I am unreasonably green with envy. Treasure the words, let them infuse your life and help you navigate that strange and challenging world of love. This is so much more than a guide however. First and foremost It is about humanity and as such it is relevant to all - young or old, gay, straight or somewhere in between, the self-assured or the vulnerable. This book has something important to say to you all. Read it, wonder at its wisdom and be grateful.

Exceptional, rare and beautiful

All the stars for this one, absolutely outstanding!! Yet again, as with Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, the narration by Lin-Manuel Miranda was stunning, and ought to win a shedload of awards. I tried to listen as slowly as I possibly could...I really did, but sometimes this story just carries you away. I thought Ari did a lot of growing up in this one, however Dante didn't seem to mature that much at all 😕.

It was full of love, of feels and it has to be said, a lot of tears on my part. AIDS naturally plays a huge part in the storyline, as does being brave enough to finally accept and 'own' who you are and come out to your friends...and Ari gathers some great friends into his own 'family'. Yes, we still have Dante, Soledad and Sam Quintana [and their new little arrival], but Suzy, Gina and a new friend Cassandra, were all connected by what happens in the story and were there for Ari when Dante sometimes wasn't. There were some very sad moments, some wonderfully uplifting moments and some serious social commentary from the Author too, making a point of mentioning the way that some [but not all obviously] white Americans were fantastically racist in the way they treated not just people from Mexico, but also black, gay and other minorities during the time period covered by the story. Has anything really changed in the years since then? Sadly, I think not 😒. Quoting the story 'We're a country of immigrants that hates immigrants'.

I have to say that based on my reading/listening of the story, there does not need to be a book 3, but I would also be extremely happy if there were. I love these two boys and the world they live in to bits!!

Brilliant sequel and narration again..
