Full review originally posted on my blog: Word Wonders *I received an Arc of this book from the publishers through Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault Successive Deaths.Oh boy Im mad. When I first started reading the book it felt like I was finding a new favorite, I knew that I was going to be giving it a 5 star rating, but as you can see that didnt happen. The Inexplicable Logic of my life took all the wrong turns when they couldve been avoided, it was"Life had its seasons, and the season of letting go would always come, but there was something very beautiful in that, in letting go. Leaves were always graceful as they floated away from the tree."Rating: 3,5/5 starsThe Inexplicable Logic of My Life was good. It was a typical Sáenz novel. It was an average Sáenz novel. One with beautiful words and beautiful thoughts, but overall it was very...mild.I'm going to make two lists, to get my thoughts in order. List No. 1 is about the good things,
I have such a hard time reviewing Benjamin Alire Sáenz's books because they really are beautiful stories it's just something about them doesn't click with me. I did prefer this story to Aristotle and Dante but I did still have a lot of the same issues. Starting off with the good, he writes amazing, realistic characters that you can't help but love. Furthermore, the relationships between these characters are downright amazing. While Aristotle and Dante was a romantic relationship, this one was

I'm one of like, the fifteen people in the universe who was really disappointed by Aristotle and Dante lmao. Still, I'm curious to see what else the author can do.
Love is a terrible curse. It causes you to hope. To dream. The last YA novel I read that was written by Benjamin Alire Sáenz I loved. That was Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. While that novel had its cliches and manic dream pixie characters it had a magic to it. A charm. Something to help lift it from the everyday YA coming of age novel. So I had hoped for similar with this book, The Inexplicable Logic of My Life, but sadly it wasn't to be. Overall it was fine... But
It's senior year and Sal doesn't know how to deal with the changes staring him down. College is eminent and his best friend Samantha's self destructive behavior worries him. Recently he has started feeling angrier and much more volatile, getting into fights. Sal also can't help but wonder about his birth father and questions who he actually is. Facing up to adulthood and the sad realities of life, Sal figures out a way to still be at peace with what he has. I enjoyed the writing and I love
