I haven't even finished and I'm already wrecked for life.

So here’s what I got :)

-Me, Earl, and The Dying Girl by Jesse Andrew’s

-A Little Queer Natural History by Josh L. Davis

-William Shakespeare without the boring bits by Peter Ackroyd

-Abridged Classics by John Atkinson (a gift for my English teacher :p)

I just finished reading this book. It’s fucking fantastic. The writing is fantastic and the characters are so lovable, you just can’t help rooting for them till the very end. It’s so heart wrenching and so loving and the main couple are just UGH I FUCKING LOVE THIS BOOK. Especially if you’re a queer Mexican-American just like me, you’ll connect to this book on such a deep level. Just a short description incase you’re interested:

Ander Lopez (they/them) is a waiter at their family’s taqueria and is in their gap year before they go to Chicago in August for art school. They’re a muralist and are trying to figure out what kind of artist they wanna be. Their family let’s them go so they can focus on their art and hire a new worker to fill in Ander’s spot: Santiago Garcia. The two fall in love, everything seems right until ICE agents come for Santi. As the book’s description puts it: “…Ander realizes how fragile that sense of home is. How love can only hold on so long when the whole world is against them. And when, eventually, the world starts to win.”

I could’ve just put the book’s full description but I wanted to write about it so bad. READ THIS BOOK. PLEASE. ITS SO GOOD.

"Trauma like that writes itself into your very bones."

2chapters into thus book and I think I'm in love
