Cemetery Boys Review (No Spoilers)

I absolutely adore Cemetery Boys, it so quickly became my favourite book and I'm so glad I actually purchased it. I almost didn't as I only went in expecting to leave with one book, yet, I left with two and don't regret it at all.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favourite Character: Julian Diaz Favourite Quote: "He was about to snap it shut when he noticed. Beneath his photo, his deadname had been scribbled out with black marker. Under, written in lopsided letters, it read, Yadriel."

The representation throughout the book is wonderfully done, I loved reading from the perspective of a trans protagonist. Not to mention how compelling the rest of the main characters are! The amount of queer representation was amazing.

I have to say I really appreciated reading a book with only one perspective! Changing points of view can often leave me confused, so I was thrilled this book didn't include that.

The book wasn't perfect, the pacing was off and certainly could have been handled better in some areas but it didn't take away from the reading experience at all for me personally!

I had managed to figure out what was going on but the ending still left me pleasantly surprised. I hadn't expected it to end the way it did; I was honestly expecting something more bittersweet. Yet this left me with happy tears.

If you're looking for a queer book to read, THIS IS IT. Just saying.
