Ander and Santi Were Here by Jonny Garza Villa
5.0
A beautiful story about love and finding a home. About casual racism and what undocumented people have to face in the US. About art and meaning.
I also loved how Ander being non binary and using they/them pronouns is never questioned. There isn't any transphobia or any kind of queerphobia for that matter. This book focuses on Ander's journey of figuring out what they want in life, and about trying to keep their boyfriend as safe as possible while knowing their future together is fragile.
It gave us the perfect dose of tough truths, horrible situations, empowering hope and strong love.
