"Ander & Santi Were Here" by Jonny Garza Villa is a beautiful and incredibly funny romance between two teens: a non-binary Mexican-American and an undocumented Mexican boy both living in San Antonio.  There is an incredibly supportive family that gives shade like they are professionals.  There are queer friends and mentors and so much Spanglish.  There is fcking ICE.  The book overflows with art and food and music.  Do yourself a favor and read it.
