Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun

Julián Luna has always pictured life as a straight line: graduation, UCLA, and getting out of Corpus Christi. One impulsive tweet makes that plan public and forces him to reckon with who he is, who he wants, and who might walk away when the truth comes out. When Mat, a gentle Twitter crush from Los Angeles, slides into his DMs, Jules finds a connection that feels both limitless and terrifying. Tender, often funny, and achingly honest, this novel traces the messy, hopeful work of coming out, first love, and learning to be your own best company.

~ Included for its warm, honest portrait of a public coming out that balances sting and steady glow, for centering queer young love, and for showing the courage of becoming yourself ~
