This book made my heart ache in all the good ways. Very touching, very funny, very well-written.
Rounding up for this brief, engaging collection of personal essays, each prompted by a question asked to the one-time advice column from Grindr (written by the author), ¡Hola Papi!
Moving and settling into my new house has taken so much time, but I finally managed to read ¡Hola Papi! By John Paul Brammer.
This book, a series of memoir advice essays, made me realize that I haven't really heard a lot of people's queer stories. I've read plenty of fictional stories, I know things about "the queer experience" in a kind of bookish way, but I've rarely learned or talking to people about their individual experience. Makes me kind of glad I looked into the local queer groups in the area I moved so I can start to get more involved.
As an aroace introvert, my life was Very different from Brammer's. It was really interesting to read about what his life was like. I did relate a lot to the stories he told in How to Be a Real Mexican (those diaspora feels) and How to Describe a Dick (in constantly at war in my own head about my plans for the future, to pursue writing as a career or just settle for the day job that pays my bills).
This is a great book and I definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.
