— cemetery boys by aiden thomas

an own-voices story set around el Día de los Muertos about a trans gay latine boy who accidentally summons the ghost of the school’s resident bad boy while trying to prove that he's a true brujo

“Yadriel wasn’t technically trespassing because he’d lived in the cemetery his whole life."

cute first date idea: you’re a (suspectedly) malignant spirit haunting a church and i’m the brujo tasked with helping you pass to the afterlife. i think you’re very handsome but you look very angry

i love the “annoyed-at-first-sight” ship dynamics so much. when two characters get off on the wrong foot and instantly Don’t Vibe but begrudgingly decide to work together, become friends and eventually fall in love? DELICIOUS

THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY

Yadriel and Julian have this exact dynamics and it’s an absolute delight

Julian: *smiles so big his dimples show*

Yadriel:

me:

“Queer folks are like wolves,” Julian told him. “We travel in packs.”

it’s taking even ounce of my self-control not to scream about Some Things that happen in this book bc ~spoilers~ but pls do me a favor and pre-order it (here: https://www.aiden-thomas.com/cemetery-boys-preorder-campaign) YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS STORY

“You’re insufferable.”
“Yeah, but I think you’re kinda into it.”

I LOVE THEM

that specific kind of intimacy when you’re just lying in bed, in the dark, with someone you care about and you’re sharing earbuds and companiably listening to music...... drown me in it

80% of my highlights in this book are just iconic things Julian Diaz said and I just had to share:

list of god-tier tropes you can expect to find in this book (and also why you should pre-order it asap!)
