How Moon Fuentez Fell in Love with the Universe

This cover is gorgeous.

The story itself is a great read.

You will find cute and funny moments sprinkled though out. Moon is transitioning from high school to college and we can all guess what that's like. However, Moon has to face other things as well such as dealing with parental mental illness, physical abuse, body image (self-acceptance), sexuality, self-worth, relationship with God, weaponizing God and religion, what love looks like in its many forms... These are just a few things.

I say all that to say, although the author has set a light and easy going tone, the book itself tackles many serious issues and leaves us with hope in new beginnings.

“With each breath, I am new. I'm a seed, I'm a flower, and then I'm a seed again. And that's exactly how God made it work.”
