How we named the stars

Nerdy and shy, scholarship student Daniel de La Luna arrives at college nervous to meet his golden-haired, athletic roommate, whose Facebook photos depict a boy just like those who made Daniel’s school years hell. Sam Morris is not what he had imagined, though. As the two settle into college life they drink tequila under the stars, go on long runs through snow-covered hills, explore freshman nightlife, and inch closer until they find themselves in love. But their blissful first year is over all too soon. Daniel’s summer in his ancestral homeland of Mexico becomes a rollercoaster of revelations, before his life is brutally upended by the unimaginable. ‘How We Named the Stars’ is a tale of love, heartache and learning to honour the dead. Daniel and Sam will leave you forever changed.
