Reviews with content warning for Homophobia - Fifteen Hundred Miles From The Sun

This was written with teenagers in mind to access easily with the language used (felt very Gen Z) But the story was well done (I could have down without the Spanglish- either commit to the Spanish fully or not) The insta love is a trope I’ve seen time and time again - while I feel like HS books / characters experience it more often, it just felt a smidge cringe. Minus that, this is an emotionally charged book at times especially when you encounter the homophobic father & his abuse (verbal and physical towards Jules)

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I think it could’ve been a little shorter and edited a little better, but the story itself was heartwarming. If you have a hard time reading about homophobia or abuse, this may be a difficult one to get through.
