Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world.

"Aristóteles es introvertido y tímido. Dante es transparente y expresivo. Por motivos que parecen escapar a toda razón, estos dos chicos de diecisiete años se encuentran y construyen una amistad entrañable que les permitirá redefinir el mundo del otro y aprender a creer en ellos mismos para descubrir los secretos del universo.

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 ❤️

I can't say I enjoyed this much, mostly because my mind kept turning back to, "This book is set in 1987-ish. Who was this caring, compassionate, and understanding in the 1980s?" I'm trying to think of a single family who would have been as chill and supportive as these two families, and I'm coming up with nothing, and I don't live in Texas (not a state known for tolerance). ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Livre poignant, magnifiquement bien écrit, bouleversant. Les personnages sont adorables et attachants, je n'ai pas réussi à lâcher le livre et je l'ai dévoré d'une traite tellement il est prenant. Beau et touchant, un petit joyau.
