[Review] The Inexplicable Logic of My Life – Benjamin Alire Sáenz (+ Excerpt)
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?

Should this book be picked up? the tl;dr review:
– 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
Initial Thoughts
Guess who thought this book was Aristotle and Dante book #2? This guy.
