The graphic novel adaptation of the hit LGBT coming of age novel! A
NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATION OF THE BESTSELLING BOOK! Juliet
Milagros Palante is leaving the Bronx and headed to Portland,
Oregon. She just came out to her family and isn't sure if her mom
will ever speak to her again. But don't worry, Juliet has something
kinda resembling a plan that'll help her figure out what it means
to be Puerto Rican, lesbian and out. See, she's going to intern
with Harlowe Brisbane - her favorite feminist author, someone whose
last work on feminism, self-love and lots of other things will help
Juliet find her ever elusive epiphany. There's just one
problem-Harlowe's white, not from the Bronx and doesn't have the
answers. Okay, maybe that's more than one problem but Juliet never
said it was a perfect plan... Critically-acclaimed writer Gabby
Rivera adapts her bestselling novel alongside artist Celia Moscote
in an unforgettable queer coming-of-age story exploring race,
identity and what it means to be true to your amazing self. Even
when the rest of the world doesn't understand.

Book of 2019 "F***ing outstanding."--Roxane Gay, New York Times
bestselling author Juliet Milagros Palante is a self-proclaimed
closeted Puerto Rican baby dyke from the Bronx. Only, she's not so
closeted anymore. Not after coming out to her family the night
before flying to Portland, Oregon, to intern with her favorite
feminist writer--what's sure to be a life-changing experience. And
when Juliet's coming out crashes and burns, she's not sure her mom
will ever speak to her again. But Juliet has a plan--sort of. Her
internship with legendary author Harlowe Brisbane, the ultimate
authority on feminism, women's bodies, and other gay-sounding
stuff, is sure to help her figure out this whole "Puerto Rican
lesbian" thing. Except Harlowe's white. And not from the Bronx. And
she definitely doesn't have all the answers . . . In a summer
bursting with queer brown dance parties, a sexy fling with a
motorcycling librarian, and intense explorations of race and
identity, Juliet learns what it means to come out--to the world, to
her family, to herself.
Hi, my name is Juliet Palante. I've been reading your book Raging
Flower: Empowering Your Pussy by Empowering Your Mind. No lie, I
started reading it so that I could make people uncomfortable on the
subway.
But I'm writing to you now because this book of yours, this magical
labia manifesto, has become my bible.
Juliet's head is spinning with questions.
Will her beautiful, chaotic Puerto Rican family still love her when
they find out she's gay?
Will an internship with her favourite author help her understand what
kind of feminist she wants to be?
And why won't her girlfriend return her calls?!
In a summer full of queer dance parties, a fling with a motorcycling
librarian and intense explorations of sexuality and identity, Juliet's
about to learn what it means to really come out - to the world, to her
family, to herself.
