Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.

On March 4, 2017, I co-hosted a blogger hangout day with other members of the book community within the Greater Toronto Area. It was super chill and a low key event to do two things: (1) get posts scheduled and (2) have Ambur (Burning Impossibly Bright), who works at Thomas Allen & Son, showcase titles they were excited for in the upcoming season.

Book Title: The Inexplicable Logic of My Life Author: Benjamin Alire Sáenz Number of pages: 464
Synopsis:
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?
(re: Goodreads @ The Inexplicable Logic of my Life by Bnjaamin Alire Sáenz)
– Adopted protagonist in a Mexican family who brings so much life to the page; themes of nature versus nurture
– Inexplicable lacks plot; is wholly character/dialogue driven
– Vicente is the best father figure in YA fiction you haven’t met
– Friendship/family driven; no romance plotline (love for love’s sake is more appropriate)
– Is extremely quotable
Guess who thought this book was Aristotle and Dante book #2? This guy.
Disclaimer: I received an ARC of The Inexplicable Logic of My Life from Raincoast Books.
