The Boy Who Loved by Durjoy Dutta (Book Review)

 📍 Raghu likes to show that there is nothing remarkable about his life, he has loving middle-class parents, an elder brother he looks up to, and he plans to study in an IIT. It seems like his life is normal but is it that normal? No it isn't.  📍 The story starts with one of his friend's death. Deep down, in his heart the guilt of letting his closest friend drown in the school's swimming pool gnaws at him.  📍 He punishes himself by hiding away from the world and shying away from love and friendship.  📍 But no matter how hard he tries, he feels himself drawn to the fascinating Brahmi - a girl quite like him, yet different in a way.  📍 He tries not to, but he begins to care for her, then life throws him into the deep end and he faces reality.  📍 The Boy Who Loved is the first of a three-part romance, the third book is yet to come.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (Book Review)

 📍  This book is about two Mexican-American teens trying to find their way in the world, but before they do that, they find each other.  📍 These two teens are Aristotle and Dante, the former guy Ari is a self-doubting silent guy, and Dante is an expressive guy who loves poetry as well.  📍 We experience the story from Ari’s perspective. Ari is not a case of being a bookish, indoor kid who doesn't relate to the rough and tumble world of "normal" boys, actually he likes to fight and drink and he wants a truck and a dog - he just never felt comfortable in the company of boys until he met Dante. 📍 Dante is definitely one of the indoor boys. He is sensitive, he reads poetry and draws too, he is the emotional one, who frequently cries, and he asks highly personal questions with his deeply inquisitive mind.  📍 Throughout the book, Aristotle and Dante are exposed and layered, continually growing more complex but also becoming more bare. Their coming of age story is ...
