- HOW MOON FUENTEZ FELL IN LOVE WITH THE UNIVERSE is kind of an under the radar YA book, but it’s one that we should all be shouting from the rooftops about. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking and funny - a stellar example of how YA can tackle the hardest topics in a loving way.
- And there is a lot of *really* hard stuff in this book. This is a slight spoiler, but I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever read a YA novel that has an abusive mom character. It was tough to read but I’m so glad this book exists.
- This book also includes characters who are fat, disabled, and sapphic, as well as all the main characters being people of color. Love it.
