Jonny Garza Villa has done it again. This was marvellous.
A beautiful coming-of-age story that's part lovers-to-rivals-to-lovers romance and part love letter to Mariachi and the may ways in which the people we love shape us.
It's a story of the need to make your family proud and to live up to the expectations you place upon yourself. It's a story of queerness, first love, community and family. It's a story of both grief and joy in their rawest forms. It's a story about two boys falling in love to the soundtrack of Mariachi and it's simply gorgeous. With a cast of wonderful characters and a story that's heart-wrenching, adorable, funny and filled with music, passion, Jonny Garza Villa has once again highlighted why they are one of my top auto-buy and auto-recommend authors.
