Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where you chose a random book from your Goodreads TBR and show it off. This meme is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog.
This week, I’m highlighting a book that’s been on my TBR for over a year. CEMETERY BOYS by Aiden Thomas sounds like such a fantastic read, and I’ve heard a ton of amazing things about it. The last two times I went to the bookstore, they had no copies, so I might just have to go to the library or order it online.
About the Book:
Title: Cemetery Boys
Author: Aiden Thomas
Page Length:344
Publication Date: Sept. 1, 2020
Publisher: Swoon Reads
Synopsis: A trans boy determined to prove his gender to his traditional Latinx family summons a ghost who refuses to leave in Aiden Thomas’s paranormal YA debut Cemetery Boys, described by Entertainment Weekly as “groundbreaking.”
Yadriel has summoned a ghost, and now he can’t get rid of him.
When his traditional Latinx family has problems accepting his true 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 off 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.

Great pick! I devoured this one so quickly and it made me surprisingly emotional that I couldn’t even process it to write a review 😂 Definitely going to have a re-read! I hope you enjoy it!
