The Inexplicable Logic of My Life
A “mesmerizing, poetic exploration of family, friendship, love and loss” from the acclaimed author of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. (New York Times Book Review)
Sal used to know his place with his adoptive gay father, their loving Mexican American family, and his best friend, Samantha. But it’s senior year, and suddenly Sal is throwing punches, questioning everything, and realizing he no longer knows himself. If Sal’s not who he thought he was, who is he?
This humor-infused, warmly humane look at universal questions of belonging is a triumph.

I liked this book. I liked how positive and supportive so many of the relationships in this book were. I liked that the people had problems but they just kind of slowly worked through them, at their own pace and while acknowledging that they had love for each other the whole time. I liked that many of the things said by the characters felt very genuine and honest, and it made me wish more people lived their lives like that. I liked that it made me so very hungry for tamales. The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't give me the emotional punch that Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe did, but honestly, I don't think that's the author's fault. These two stories were apples and cucumbers and today I liked apples better. (But seriously, Aristotle and Dante is such a good book.) This book was introspective and interesting and I would definitely recommend it to the right person in the right mindset.
