A love story like no other.

In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe , two boys 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 hiding 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 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.

3 (Bom)

Quando li o primeiro livro de Aristóteles e Dante, amei a história, e não senti a necessidade de uma sequência. Quando comecei a tal sequência, tive a esperança de que fosse boa, afinal tinha me surprendido na primeira leitura. No entanto, o sentimento de que a história podia ter parado por ali me pegou logo no início do livro, e continuou até o final.

Senti falta, principalmente, de conflitos na história, o que deixou a sensação de monotonia e de que o livro podia ter umas 200 páginas a menos. Além disso, tiveram alguns assuntos que poderiam ser desenrolados mas que foram deixados de lado, sem conclusão.

Porém, assim como o primeiro livro, esse também tem a leitura fluida, o que te prende pelo entretenimento. Assim, apesar das críticas que tive, gostei de ler o livro e acho que foi um bom uso do meu tempo.
