Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, authored by the PEN/Faulkner Award winning writer Benjamin Alire Sáenz is a poignant tale of two young men from different backgrounds becoming friends and finally lovers.
Summary of the Book
Dante is a young man who has a weird but know-it-all perspective about everything in life. But Aristotle is an angry teenager whose brother is in a prison. They meet at a swimming pool on a fateful day. They have nothing in common when they meet, but their friendship becomes stronger despite that fact. And the special friendship leads them into a relationship as lovers. Their lives are changed forever. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe delicately proves that love must be free and open, regardless of physicality, gender or any other differences. A must read for those who like to read tales that revolve around some of the strongest, most mysterious and intense human emotions. This book has won the Stonewall Book Award Mike Morgan & Larry Romans Children’s and Young Adult Literature Award in the year 2013 and Honor Book, Michael L.

The story has left me devastated . Lots of quotes. Its touching and it honestly made me smile so much. I woudnt Give away the story, but keep in mind that it is in fact a lgbtq+ story. So If you are homophobic, dont be. Homophobia is disgusting?
