About this listen

 ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE PRODUCED BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA

The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved cult classic about family, friendship and first love, from award-winning author Benjamin Alire Sáenz. This lyrical novel will enrapture readers of John Green, Love, Simon and Call me by your Name.

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.

Of the two books I think I preferred the first one “ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE” however I still really enjoyed the sequel. I binge listened to both books and was really quite sad that there isn’t a third or fourth book.
Highly recommend and guaranteed to shed a tear.

over and over this book broke my heart and stitched it back together with so much beauty and love. his writing is poetry, and the story and the characters within broke the words "beautiful" and "love" and built them anew.

I think, just maybe, all the secrets of the universe might just be found between the pages of this book.

it will forever be in my heart.


ps. Lin Manuel-Miranda is a phenomenal narrator, his voice brought this book beyond imagination

beautiful, in every sense of the word

I loved the first book in this series and found this to be a great sequel. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s narration perfectly captured the subtle differences of each character and I didn’t want to stop listening. The plot took a little longer to become clear but there were still lots of sweet and (at times) some emotional moments. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoyed the first book!

A worthy sequel

I only have a few words to say about this book. And it is this: how can love like Ari’s and Dante’s be wrong?

Raw, real and so relevant even today
