Benjamin Alire Saenz's book is something I heard a lot through BookTube since 2014; that's when I started watching BookTube videos. I bought the book a year ago when the hype for "The Inexplicable Logic of my Life" was high, and the truth is I wanted to read it when I was ready and the right time.
I also heard Lyn Manuel Miranda narrated the audiobook, and I knew I would like to devour it with my eyes as well as with my ears. Alire-Saenz's writing is remarkable, and the plot of the story makes yo ...more

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book. I just didn't love it as much as it seems most other people did.

Beautiful. This book should be required reading for all humans. Definitely top 5 all time favorite material.
Such a sweet story of coming to terms with who you are.
It’s good. I don’t like reading “award winners” or critically acclaimed books but this one is good and it’s not pushy.
I couldn’t decide whether this is a 3 stars or a 4 stars... so I guess, it’s 3.5...
