“Messily human and sincerely insightful.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, multiple award-winning novel Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is an “emotional roller coaster” (School Library Journal, starred review) sure to captivate fans of Adam Silvera and Mary H.K. Choi.
In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys in a border town 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 burying 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 of all kinds, 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The long-awaited follow-up to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a powerful, poignant story of love between two young men on the cusp of adulthood. It’s the late 1980s in El Paso, Texas, and Aristotle Mendoza and Dante Quintana are Mexican American teens beginning their last year of high school. They’re also deeply in love. Despite having caring and supportive families and friends, the culture they live in never lets them forget they’re outsiders—especially in light of the AIDS crisis. We love how Benjamin Alire Sáenz is so refreshingly bold and matter-of-fact in portraying the physical and emotional attraction between his two protagonists, and the way he describes the sweet, agonizing intensity of first love makes this story truly universal. With his warmth and natural delivery, Hamilton superstar Lin-Manuel Miranda is the perfect narrator for this deeply felt story. Honest, heartfelt, and unashamed, this book’s bound to be become a classic of queer YA fiction.
