i just happened to be copying quotes from Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe(so many great quotes!)when i finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower. i notice Aristotle and Charlie are both depressed teenagers.
i may have to change my rating of Aristotle because i noticed in Perks Charlie doesn't think all his problems are solved just because he is in love, now has friends, or goes to parties. Charlie gets counseling and still has serious issues but is now hopeful.

I finally buckled down and bought this book earlier today. I'm far too excited to read this, you have no idea. Just have to squeeze in some time.

“Another secret of the universe: Sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.”
I enjoyed this book! I really liked it a lot. I felt like it was raw and real and beautifully written. There were several times that I had to just set it down and think about what was happening. Those "wow" moments. I teared up several times as well, this book is certainly emotional.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this, the audiobook version was really well done. There's something about the typical coming-of-age teenagers books that just don't especially do much for me though. I think this is the type of book that I would have really loved in high school, but am not super into in my 20s (I had the same problem with Perks of Being a Wallflower, I just read it too late for it to really be magic for me). I definitely appreciated the book for what it was though, and I liked all of the cha

What a delightful book. I just loved Ari and Dante. I am often annoyed by YA love stories, but this one was just awesome.
This book was off to such a great start and, while it is still a good read, it fell into some old traps and tropes that reduced my score. Happy to chat about them, but don't want to give any spoilers.

Goddamn, this book is good.
The first thing I did when I walked out of Mad Max: Fury Road was call my male best friend and asked him if all movies felt like this to him. I'd never before watched an action movie that felt like it was written for me as a woman, produced for me as a woman, meant for me as a woman, and all of that completely unapologetically. I realized how truly important it is to see reflections of yourself out in the world. I'd long thought that was important in theory but sweet b ...more
