I read this book last summer and after I finished it, all around me seemed like a dream. It was just so stunning. Also, I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your spotify playlist :)
This book helped me realize I was lesbian. It was the first book I ever read where I really related to a character (Ari) it is so poetic and tells the story beautifully. Every time I read it I grow to love it more. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. I love how the relationships grew as the book went on and most of all I love how obvious it was that Ari was in love with Dante. PS: I sob every single time I read the part where Dante got hurt (for the second time)
I've just finished Aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe, and i loved it!!! Ari and dante are just so relatable. I think ari is so manly and dante so cute🙈. I just, the whole story is just simply Great!!!
I just finished listening to this book and i absolutely adore it. The family aspect was a wonderful surprise and i love how its a story of friendship as much as it is a love story. Writing was beautiful. Characters were lovely and relatable. I love how you went about this review.
Ok but I can totally see you as Dante my dude 😂 I don't think its weird at all. I feel like I grew up as Dante and over time have slowly become Ari, ya know? People are no one person, we change. Pfft, told you your review would be better then mine.
Ahhh yes I want to be Dante lol. I linked the tumblr post in the description but I'll send it to you too :D It's so lovely! ((don't compare yourself to your friends my man. One isn't better than the other))
It's pronounced like 'Signs'. 😊 I can get the confusion. I'm really glad that you liked this book. It's one of my favorite books of ALL TIME. And I cannot put into words my feelings for it, but I can relate it so much and I love their relationship-family and relationship wise- because of the realistic qualities, because of the way he wrote Latinx culture and familial structure. And because I love reading about people like me and love like mine. I love this book so much and I'm really, really glad you liked it. 💙
Thank you! I really appreciate you telling me how to pronounce it 😌 I'm very glad I read and loved this book too. It's not something that I relate to in personal experience, but it helps me understand others better which is something I'm always thankful for :)
@Emma Green 😯We just finishing principal photography of Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe film. I was Ari’s stand-in throughout the entire process of filming. When you mentioned this book reminded you of novel The Outsiders that’s exactly what I said too.🤷🏻If you love this book you’re probably going to love the movie it’s in post production right now with a possible release in 2022 or 2023. Thank you for the kind words and humble review of the book.🙏 📚📖
I actually read that then I watched others reviews after! I tried so hard to not finish the books quickly! And I only read it every night to go to sleep, and when travelling for a long time! I wish for a 2nd book
I love this book, I love you and I love that Tumblr post! After I read it, I rushed to Tumblr and so that post and oh my heart. :D I can't wait for the sequel!
Wonderful review of a wonderful book. I, too, identified more with Ari than Dante. But I loved how incredibly patient Dante was with Ari. And not just him, Ari’s parents! Oh My God it broke my heart just to read how much love Ari was surrounded by! It was an emotional read for sure. Thank you for the review.
I was in 9th grade when I read this book. My first book. I only picked it because I judged it by its cover. But today i was this old when i found out that there is a movie and a sequel. Thank you!!!!
I only picked it up because of the name Dante because Dante was a character from my one of the favorite video game devil may cry but didn't get a chance to read it but I will may be this month or may be in the next anyways love the review now I know what this book holds, thank You for the spoiler free one and always stay awesome.
i love your bookshelves 😍 it seriously looks stunning. im about to buy and start reading that shadowhunters series, are those hardcovers? And this book Ari&Dante is one of the most beautiful books i've ever read🌌
Ari is the most relatable character I ever read. I really liked the characters, but I thought some of the plot points were weak like his father and brother's backstory reveal and how Ari's finds out his feelings. Also I keep seeing reviews how the writing is really good. I thought the writing was really bad actually (super choppy dialogue), but it made the book fun and easy to read.
Why? Everyone knows before reading that it IS a love story between two boys. In fact, I do not think it is a love story at all. The love is just a backstory for me :)
Ewelina Białek Really? I read it without knowing that, and honestly I wasn't expecting love. That's why I think that it's a HUGE spoiler. I thought that it was about friendship, and a boy who learns how to open-up to people. We'll then, I guess that some people wouldn't mind knowing that anyway.
Idk, the blurbs on cover in my country clearly say that it is about homosexuals. But as you said, I think it is rather about growing up and knowing your true self. Thats why I love it.
@ Ewelina Białek "Why? Everyone knows before reading that it IS a love story between two boys. In fact, I do not think it is a love story at all. The love is just a backstory for me :)" I didn't know this until I watched a video review some time back. I was shocked because I'd seen the book around but had no idea that it was promoting homosexuality to kids. Very disturbing!
Well yeah tbh like this book got hyped by everyone so much but it was just okay the writings felt random it was like reading a teen's journal thats it and oh boy Ari is shown as a really smart person but how didn't he get that he could be gay like didn't he get all those butterflies when he was with Dante like in the end he specifically said that he has been in love with Dante from the beginning and that he just didn't realise it but when u are in love with someone like in a romantic way u just know that's just how it is and i can't believe that Ari, a great deep thinker didn't realise that until the very end so yeah book sucks
I love this book to death, and that quote is definitely my favourite, im also so excited for the movie and the sequel too!
Yes!! I can't wait for more of Ari and Dante :)
Wait- there will be a sequel AND a MOVIE?
Oh god, I need to get the book now
Does it have a happy ending?
Is it a gay book like a gay Story with gay characters and if so is it going to be disturbing .
Did it came out already? The sequel and the movie???
I read this book last summer and after I finished it, all around me seemed like a dream. It was just so stunning. Also, I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your spotify playlist :)
Yay!! I"m so glad you like the playlist :)) makes me really happy
I completely loved this book! Dante inspires me to be gentler and kinder. Awesome review👍🏻👍🏻
Yes he inspired me the same :) thank you!
Me too

I know I am a little late to the party, (3 years exactly) but I wanted to recommend "I'll give you the sun" . (it's just a good book)
I've been wanting to pick this up but I'm not really a contemporary person so I'm quite sceptical, but I'm sure I will at some point!!
I'm not a contemporary person either... at all, but if you feel like giving one a try, this is a good one :)

"SPOILER FREE" until you reach 1:13 lol
