Descrizione
When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his gender, Yadriel becomes determined to prove himself a real brujo. With the help of his cousin and best friend Maritza, he performs the ritual himself, and then sets out to find the ghost of his murdered cousin and set it free.
However, the ghost he summons is actually Julian Diaz, the school’s resident bad boy, and Julian is not about to go quietly into death. He’s determined to find out what happened and tie up some loose ends before he leaves. Left with no choice, Yadriel agrees to help Julian, so that they can both get what they want. But the longer Yadriel spends with Julian, the less he wants to let him leave.

3.5 starsYou don't need anyone's permission to be you, Yads.Cemtery Boys was an enjoyabe read. I love the characters especially Yadriel. I also love the relationship between Yadriel and Julian. Martiza is also such an awesome character. I really liked reading it through a tans, gay and Latinx perspective and I liked the world-building. I think this was more of a character-driven storyline than a plot-driven one because the plot was extremely predictable. I wanted to love this book due to the hype around it but I think it's time to admit that maybe I'm just getting old for YA fiction. The book was beautifully written though and the representation was also great.
I went into this blind. I had seen so many reviews giving it 5 stars.I can understand why. It was a great book. It has a good plot, loveable characters, diverse cast, great LGBT rep and cozy vibes. However, the pace of the book really threw me. It was slow with unimportant information is patches and the last 60 pages it sped up. If it was faced paced but with more character development then probably would of been 5 stars for me. The plot was a little predictable but considering the age demographic for the book, I was okay with that.
