The YA romance genre is extremely hit-or-miss for me, and a lot of the time I'll read something light only to become frustrated with its clichés and contrivances. Not so with our dear friend Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I had known this was one of the well-loved classics of YA, but I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. Saenz's sparse language and expressive metaphors serve to create a really quiet yet beautifully devastating story. I really identified with Ari as a character. I listened to this partially on audiobook, however, and I have to say Lin Manuel Miranda being the narrator was random as hell and a little weird for me as a former Hamilton freak.
