FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES FROM THE SUN...

An #OwnVoices debut pitched as SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA meets ONE DAY AT A TIME, in a home where social conservatism, machismo, and masculine identity run deep, Corpus Christi, Texas high school senior Julián Luna is forced to keep his gay identity a secret. Jules' only focus is lying low the next ten months and enjoying every moment he has left with his friends before college takes them on separate paths.

Completely doable.

Until Jules wakes up hungover and discovers he came out on Twitter in between tequila shots. In an instant, his entire life is thrown—literally—out the closet. 

Helping him navigate the life that is openly gay Jules is Mat, a Twitter mutual from Los Angeles who slides into Jules' DMs. He's friendly, supportive, funny, and so attractive. He's the first person Jules says the words "I'm gay" to. And, if he weren't three states away, could definitely be Jules' first boyfriend.

But a cute boy living halfway across the country can't fix all Jules' problems. There's one thing he'll have to face on his own: coming out to his homophobic father.
