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.

Stories seared into my heart and soul

Aristotle & Dante has been a story written on my soul for my entire adult life. I cried when I saw there was a sequel. It was beautiful. Truly beautiful. Thank you so much for bringing my dear friends back for another wonderful novel

Great Book great Author bad reader

I loved everything about the book. Benjamin’s Alire Saenz knows how to write a great book. So touching. Worst part of the reading was the Spanish words weren’t Chicano read.

I loved it!

This is a beautiful story with a brilliant narration. I loved every single minute, the laughs and the tears. Make sure you listen to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe first.

Incredible!

I don’t think I’ve ever loved a novel as much as this one. This sequel I think might even be better than the first novel. I want to meet Ari and Dante and Cassandra, the whole group. I can’t wait to listen to it again!

This is a love story and makes you think .

i have not been able to put this book down. It took me two days to read it. And I am still pondering about the many important matters discussed in the story.
It makes you think about our actions and response to life in general and mostly about loving ourselves and love our human fellows.

Beautiful and Important 🌹

Phenomenal perspective, profound,poetic, a literary treasure for YA and adults. What is love? How do we become adults, what is prejudice. Very emotional serious and joyous.

December 28 Baby

Read this in one day. I of course cried so much from both happiness and sadness. It’s was a moment for me.

Boys are so different and confused by love of life

Love is not fully agreeing or even always understanding. People are different, especially when young and learning in their adventure of being alive. The closer they become to someone, the more the differences stress their emotions and relationships while their similarities fade. All senses get stressed by confusing emotions and raging hormones, but often the path to love is as simple as a touch during a moment of closeness in the moonlight. Or in the rain. Even when danger changes everything. Change is always going to happen, but love can slip through the cracks to infiltrate hearts in magic ways to make life beautiful in so many ways. Yet it is the little things that are most important to memory and loyalty of life.
