Coming of age story set in the South. Art was well done. Storyline was good and sad.  The end felt a little rushed.

A fun, cute graphic novel that balances romance with a mystery and struggles with homophobia. Set on a ranch, the way it handled the setting resonated with me (rural gay). The use of miscommunication was a little more bearable than most books that use it since it was for the mystery aspect and made sense for the characters. The art is also pretty cute.

What an interesting combination of horror and queer romance. The characters were so realistic! And Terciero is very skilled at slow revelations. Although I would’ve liked the ending to be more drawn out and filled with queer love, I was satisfied.

Very similar to Bloom, less so Heartstopper. Latinx rep, own voice.

Trigger Warnings: (via an author’s note at the beginning of the novel) Moments of homophobia, misogyny, racism, domestic violence, animal cruelty, and confronting death

Sixteen-year-old Cade Muñoz has always loved the escapism of a good horror movie. Even though they’re scary, nothing is scarier than real life for the closeted queer Latino teen growing up in rural Texas.

When Cade gets sent to work his summer away with his step dad on his old army buddy’s ranch, he hates everything about it; the early mornings, the mountains of horse poop he has to shovel, the endless list of chores… But there are some things he does like - the company of the two teens who live there, especially the handsome Henry.

But, things are complicated. They’re in rural Texas after all. But Henry also won’t share about his mother’s death, and Henry’s father and him have had hushed, angry arguments Cade has overheard. Cade begins to wonder what secrets the family is hiding.

This is a beautifully illustrated and written romance about first love, grief, mental health, self acceptance, and the experience of being gay in rural, religious towns.

At first I was a little weary of the color pallet of being brown/maroon but it works well for this novel. It doesn’t take away from the story at all and it kind of helps set the mood of being out on a ranch. Also - the art is beautiful and I loved it!

I can see those who love the Heartstopper series also enjoying this book; Cade and Henry can totally give off Nick and Charlie vibes for sure… especially the hopeless romantic facial expressions of Cade. I shall indeed be recommending this book to any YA graphic novel, queer romance lovers.
