A poignant, funny, openhearted novel about coming out, first love,
and being your one and only best and true self. Julian Luna has a
plan for his life: Graduate. Get into UCLA. And have the chance to
move away from Corpus Christi, Texas, and the suffocating
expectations of others that have forced Jules into an inauthentic
life. Then in one reckless moment, with one impulsive tweet, his
plans for a low-key nine months are thrown-literally-out the
closet. The downside: the whole world knows, and Jules has to
prepare for rejection. The upside: Jules now has the opportunity to
be his real self. Then Mat, a cute, empathetic Twitter crush from
Los Angeles, slides into Jules's DMs. Jules can tell him anything.
Mat makes the world seem conquerable. But when Jules's fears about
coming out come true, the person he needs most is fifteen hundred
miles away. Jules has to face them alone. Jules accidentally
propelled himself into the life he's always dreamed of. And now
that he's in control of it, what he does next is up to him.
The Santos Vista neighbourhood of San Antonio, TX is all Ander
Lopez has ever known. The smell of pan dulce, the laughter of kids
hitting a piñata at the park, the mixture of Spanish and English
filling the streets. And, especially, their job at the family’s
taqueria. So as the days count down on their gap year until the day
they’ll leave for art school in Chicago, their head is filled
with one relentless question: am I really ready to leave it all
behind? Their family, however, has the opposite worry: to keep them
from becoming complacent, they “fire” Ander so they can focus
on their murals and prepare for college. That is, until they meet
Santiago Garcia, the hot new waiter. Ander is immediately crushing
and slides back into a few shifts, desperate to spend more time
with him. A couple nights closing down the restaurant together;
late night drives to drop Santi off after work; falling for each
other is as natural as breathing. Through Santi’s eyes, Ander
finally understands everything they are and want to be as an
artist, and Ander becomes Santi’s first step toward making Santos
Vista and the U.S. feel like home. But they start to realize how
fragile that sense of home is when vans are spotted following Santi
on his walks to work. When ICE agents are waiting for them at
Ander’s house. When they begin to feel like the entire world is
against them. And when, eventually, the outside world starts to.
