I went into this book blind. All I knew was that this was a YA book involving LGBT issues and people in the 1980s. Like I already said, it was so much more and absolutely fantastic. Aristotle and Dante have a story that involves a self-discovery that many LGBT individuals face even today. But it explores so many other topics - family secrets, homophobia, violence, acceptance, death, grief, war, mental health, etc. - which are each handled beautifully. Additionally, they are absolutely handled without a single one feeling like it was jammed in and forgotten, or like the book becomes bloated because of all of these topics.
This is potentially sort of spoilery, but really I don't think it is. For those who don't want to read about the message I got from this book, read the book first then come back here. It may be best that way.
