Thank you to Libro FM through their Educators ALC program for the gifted audiobook of Aristotle & Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World! All opinions in this review are my own.
SYNOPSIS
In the sequel to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Aristotle and Dante settle into their new relationship. Not only must they deal with the homophobia in their own town, but the nation is currently undergoing the AIDS epidemic. As Aristotle and Dante finish out their senior year of high school, they must decide where their relationship goes once they graduate.
REVIEW
I enjoyed this sequel so much more than the original novel. I really liked seeing Ari come into himself and improve the relationships with people around him. Benjamin Alire Sáenz can make his readers smile with delight of a first love, but also completely break their hearts.
I cannot recommend the audiobooks enough. Both are narrated by Lin-Manuel Miranda and he not only captures Ari's quietness, but also Dante's exuberance.
