Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun by Jonny Garza Villa
5.0
CW: Homophobia, Parental Abuse, Physical Abuse from a parent, Grief and references to loss of a parent, Bullying Homophobic Hazing, Underage Drinking, Panic Attacks and PTSD.
This book was utterly beautiful. I wept. We follow a young Mexican American boy named Jules in his last year of high school. He's coming to terms with his sexuality and falling in love with Mat, a Vietnamese American boy who lives in Los Angeles. They meet online and quickly form a friendship.
This book explores a lot of queer themes. Coming out, and all of the hardships one might face from a homophobic parent. Bullying from peers, acceptance from friends. It is a raw and emotional story. I loved every second of it. The audio book is also fantastic.
