Such an emotional coming out journey. Jules accidentally outs himself on Twitter but is relieved to not have to hide himself anymore. He becomes friends with Matt online, who gives him support as another queer teen. The only problem is that he lives in LA and Jules is in Texas. There's lots of high school angst but also a lot of heart. Plus Mexican and Asian cultures represented in language and food.
TW for homophobia from family and some abuse

Kenyazero Does this one have a lot of social media blurb type formatting that might be less enjoyable as an audiobook? 2y
peanutnine @Kenyazero not a ton. I listened to the audio and thought they did a good job differentiating online comments/texting conversations with dialogue. And I enjoyed the narrator so I would recommend ☺️ 2y
Kenyazero @peanutnine good to know! 2y

Overall cute story of how Jules navigates his senior year of high school and coming out to his friends and family. Full of pop culture references and witty banter, Jules felt real and like he could be my little brother. I did like how much culture was included in this book. The Spanish slang and the food… omg the food! Don‘t read this when you are hungry.

Totally lovely,queer, latinx m/m romance/coming of age. Well done, Jonny Garza Villa!! Also, FYI, the ebook and audiobook are both on Kindle Unlimited and if you‘d rather buy the book after reading this preciousness (ahem def not a personal story. Ok. Yes. It is.) it‘s only $3.99.
