Boston Globe, BuzzFeed, LitHub, Electric Literature, LGBTQ Reads, Latinx in Publishing *Recommended by The New York Times* In this contemporary debut novel?an intimate portrait of queer, racial, and class identity ?Andrés, a gay Latinx professor, returns to his suburban hometown in the wake of his husband?s infidelity. There he finds himself with no excuse not to attend his twenty-year high school reunion, and hesitantly begins to reconnect with people he used to call friends. Over the next few weeks, while caring for his aging parents and navigating the neighborhood where he grew up, Andrés falls into old habits with friends he thought he?d left behind. Before long, he unexpectedly becomes entangled with his first love and is forced to tend to past wounds.
