This story perfectly mixes modern and traditional elements of Latinx culture along with LGBTQ+ issues, deportation, gender identity and what it means to be a man, and family (found and biological).
🕯
Cemetery Boys is the perfect story for anyone who loves a good love story *and* a good ghost story. The mystery and intrigue surrounding the circumstances of Julian's death will keep you hooked until the very last page. 🖤 The mix of Spanish and English was a fantastic touch and helped bring a real authenticity to the East LA setting. As a non-Spanish speaker, I had to look things up, but I'm always 100% willing to put in the extra work. Hell, I have to look up English words too. 😆
🕯
Yadriel and Julian are such a wonderful duo. I love them so much!
》Yadriel — reserved and anxious; reminds me a lot of Alex from JatP and Adam from TRC
》Julian — reckless and so full of puppy dog energy; reminds me a lot of Ronan Lynch from TRC and Reggie from JatP
