He worries that some terrible gene he inherited from his unknown biological father is taking hold of him.Īs the year progresses, Sal struggles with his identity, flailing around in relationships that have been the steady heartbeat of his life - until now. The more fights he gets into, the more he wonders about the source of these impulses. But suddenly, every cut and insult sends him into a violent rage. He's always been a good kid, firmly enfolded in the love of his gay adoptive father, their extended family, and his best friend Samantha. Sal begins his senior year with an unfamiliar fire burning inside him. The Inexplicable Logic of My Life has the word count of a book with worlds to build, but rather than using its pages to explore the confines of an imaginary land, it delves deeply into the complex inner world of one teenaged boy. In the realm of young adult literature, the biggest tomes are usually fantasies, the kind that require several hundred years of history, culture, and politics to ground an intricate plot.
