Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

this book is perfect. it's so fucking beautiful. the language is so simplistic and yet every single sentence has a deeper meaning. i love ari because he's so realistic - he's stubborn and he's normal and i love that. and dante's just beautiful, he's lovely and he's free and he doesn't care. and the fucking parents too oh my god i wish i had those parents they are so amazing. i love most characters in this book (excluding some of the very small characters that were fucking assholes). i just think it's a very teenage book — it explores what it's like to be a teenager and all of these questions about the universe. i like that it makes you think. i love this book.
