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.
Je ne pensais pas forcément qu’une suite à Aristote et Dante était nécessaire et en même temps j’avais vraiment envie de les retrouver. Ce second tome est extrêmement beau et touchant, on vit une vraie évolution des personnages, de leur entourage et de leur vie. J’ai rigolé, j’ai versé beaucoup de larmes, j’ai voulu les serrer fort contre moi, je ne vois pas quoi demander de plus d’un livre ❤️

Aristotle and Dante is a book that I have been hearing about for a long time but just finally listened to. This is a coming of age story of two Mexican-American boys set in El Paso Texas in the 1980s.
Ari is a loner with many questions about his family. He has a much older brother who went to jail when Ari was four. He doesn't know why and his family refuses to talk about it. Ari's father is a Vietnam veteran struggling with PTSD who is having difficulty communicating with his family.
Dante is the extroverted only child of expressive and loving parents. He loves poetry. He offers to teach Ari to swim when they meet at a public pool. Over the summer they become friends and then very gradually start to realize that they may be falling in love.

This is the story of Ari and Dante's lives through one summer, the school year, and the next summer. There are everyday milestones like getting a driver's license and having your first job in addition to larger issues.
Lin-Manuel Miranda reads the audiobook and does a very good job. (There is a nice moment when Ari complains about learning about Alexander Hamilton that gets a bit meta when you hear Lin-Manuel Miranda read it.) This book is a bit slow on audio for my tastes. In fact I set it aside for a few months after about the first hour. I'm glad I came back to it because the story picked up but this is one that might be better in print form if you like a lot of action in your audiobooks.
In whatever format you decide this is a great book for everyone to read.This review was originally posted on Based On A True Story
