Description

A poignant, funny, openhearted novel about coming out, first love, and being your one and only best and true self.
Julián Luna has a plan for his life: Graduate. Get into UCLA. And have the chance to move away from Corpus Christi, Texas, and the suffocating expectations of others that have forced Jules into an inauthentic life.
Then in one reckless moment, with one impulsive tweet, his plans for a low-key nine months are thrown―literally―out the closet. The downside: the whole world knows, and Jules has to prepare for rejection. The upside: Jules now has the opportunity to be his real self.
Then Mat, a cute, empathetic Twitter crush from Los Angeles, slides into Jules’s DMs. Jules can tell him anything. Mat makes the world seem conquerable. But when Jules’s fears about coming out come true, the person he needs most is fifteen hundred miles away. Jules has to face them alone.
Jules accidentally propelled himself into the life he’s always dreamed of. And now that he’s in control of it, what he does next is up to him.

[The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.] CN: abuse (verbal, physical), queermisia (graphic), bullying, suicidal ideation, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, sex I loved this book so, so, so much. Even though there are some scenes that are really sad and hard to read as a queer person, it's also so cute and so funny and I would die for the main characters. "Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun" is the perfect queer YA book and I can't wait to re-read it!

Eine schöne Geschichte mit tollen Charakteren. Nichts Monumentales, aber gut für zwischendurch. CW: häusliche Gewalt, Homophobie, Mobbing

A great story. Each character had depth and you feel for each of them.
