Review: Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ari and Dante know they are in love, but as of now, only their families know about it.  Ari is used to staying invisible, even when others try and be his friend.  He thought his senior year would be the same, but now that he has experienced love, he can’t go back to being the quiet guy.  Not only is he making friends, he is standing up for what he believes in.  What will Aristotle and Dante learn about themselves and the world?  Will they be able to keep their relationship strong with all the turmoil around them?

 

Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World is the second book in the Aristotle and Dante series.  Although there are nine years between the books, there is only a minimum of time that passed in the storyline.  We’ve all heard that hindsight is 20/20 and this book takes that phrase to a new level.  The events that happened in the LGBTQ+ community and AIDS understanding during the late 1980s are still surrounding us today, although differently.   I don’t feel the first book is needed to enjoy the second book, but if you read them out of order you spoil many secrets.
