Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun

actual rating: 3.5 stars

this is a very cute book. and i think it can be very important for young queer (latinx) people to read smth like this, so i am very happy it exists!!

i just think the pacing was a bit off and the plot itself... idek if there really was one, so these aspects felt slightly weak to me. especially the last 30% werent really exciting at all anymore for me
(also, while accurate for the time period, i feel like the many pop culture references and twitter lingo are going to age really badly,,)

anyways, only the best for jules and mat, love them to bits

This was so cute! It reminded me of a mix between Red, White, and Royal Blue, I Wish You All the Best, and Running With Lions! I loved all of the characters, and Julián's relationship with all of his friends!
I can't wait to own a copy!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a E-arc copy in exchange for my honest review

A gay teen coming out romance, and OMG I've grinned from ear to ear, smiled so happily and bawled my eyes out So much!
Interracial, long distance, filled with a cast of wonderful empowering human beings.
A sadly all too real parent who is deeply believable and flawed.
You want love? You want honest self doubt and pain? You want strength and overcoming? You want to believe in the power of friendship, love and trust?
- this is the book you Need to read!
