Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe Paperback – 27 May 2021

i completed this book at a go. the only bad aspect of this book for as a hopeless romantic you see was that we very less good time with both the characters together with everything solved. but thats tge problem with a lots of books i have seen ...prime example will be find me ( the sequel to cmbyn) but this is nothing like find me though. i must add the reviews on amazing are pretty solid , my absolute favorite being from this guy called chiatanya srivastava where he goes with the title "do yourself a favour and read this book". in no way anyone is going to regret this book. i cant think of any way. now im gona talk about characters here so spoilers ahead .when i started reading i was like man ..this boy is 15 and how am i supposed to relate with him me being 18. but then i was like babe ..you were 15 once . and you have to remember that. then tried to trace back my 15 y/o self . honestly..no joke but we are forgetting what it was like 15 when we turn 16 a beautiful line from the movie the perks of being a wallflower.okay comming back to the story , i cant emphasise enough on how much i was able to resonate with ari. his hateness towards everybody after the accident, his awkwardness when people thanked him , how he needed so much alone time despite having a person he absolutely loved and adored. personalities like ari and his dad should be adored i tell you. as ari was the protagonist we know ari more than dante but its okay i guess . i feel like i know them both , in fact both their parents. every character in this novel had life and i will remember them , this doesn't happen a lot when you remember almost all the characters other than the main characters.as for the main characters both of them had something sad about them . if you have the sliglest idea of queer history you will feel more sad i guess which again brings me to the fact there was good representation i guess.i dont know i just finished reading the book and my thoughts are all over the places , guess i ll have to clean the messy room .and the two girls who were friends with ari in school, they need some appreciation man. i have mutual feelings for them as ari and i know for a fact ari appreciated both of them more than was written in words.ari as a character is an introvert ,asocial, overthinker, intellectual with good sense of humor . now thats a deadly combination and its rare to find irl . atleast thats how i would like to put it . and this combination is the sexiest . i tell you . ari had character development thanks to his parents but it was kind of his parents fault too . why im saying so is because ari also had an additional package with the above mentioned combo and that is self pity and zero self love . but eventually he learnt all of that . the biggest lesson he learnt is accepting his own feelings and thoughts . thats my opinion though . sure he was a melancholic guy and i dont think that shit changes overnight . but anyways the whole journey was pure . both the characters .for dante i have no solid opinions of him as of now as my mind is filled with ari because we got his insights more than dante but had we got both their prospects ,that would have been interesting. really .now talking about the relationship ari and dante had, it was so honest throughout! and i love that and i cant think of any other way.yeah. still contemplating on weather you should buy it or not? do yourself a favour and read this and own this book.

Though I have chosen to read this book as a LGBTQ read but this book is beyond that. More than a LGBTQ read it's a brilliant family drama for me.Angel Aristotle Mendoza was a fifteen years old melancholy boy who suffers from self-doubt. He kept his thoughts and feelings inside of him. He always had bad dreams. He thinks everything in this world is a mystery. All the time he gets lost in thoughts of his older brother Bernardo who is in prison and the last time he saw him was when Ari was four and Bernardo was fifteen. His parents pretended his brother didn't exist and because of that sadness was deeply rooted in Ari's family. What Ari really want for someone to talk about his brother.On the other hand, Dante Quintana was a self-assured and articulated boy who could swim, draw, read poetry and more over that he liked himself and his family. He could talk to people without any hesitation. He was an emotional and open minded boy.Deep down Aristotle was also emotional but he had built a imaginary wall around himself that no one can break. He knew how to hide his feelings. He didn't know how to be friends with anyone. But when Ari met Dante, they became best friends. Dante was the first friend Ari have ever had. He never knew that people like Dante existed in the world, people who knew the mysteries of water, stars and birds and who crazy about their parents.I was thrilled to read this book and I was amazed by the writing style.
