"Aristotle and Dante continue their journey to manhood in this achingly romantic, tender tale set against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic in 1980s America. In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys fell in love. Now they must learn what it means to stay in love-and to build their relationship in a world that doesn't seem to want them to exist. In their senior year at two different schools, the boys find ways to spend time together, like a camping road trip they take in the desert. Ari is haunted by his incarcerated older brother and by the images he sees on the nightly news of gay men dying from AIDS. Tragedy feels like his destiny, but can he forge his own path and create a life where he can not only survive, but thrive?"-- Provided by publisher.
High school seniors Aristotle and Dante find ways to spend time together despite being at different schools, having to keep their love secret, and nightly news of gay men dying from AIDS.

Long Delayed Sequel Delivers! submitted by JJM.Deucher on July 8, 2023, 7:27am I felt similarly to hearing this book was getting a sequel nearly. a decade after reading the first book as I did when hearing about the new installment of the incredibles! Saenz is a top tier YA author and this book picks up where it left of and moves forward in the struggles of being a gay teenager in America in the 1980s.
