Picked this up as a “mystery date with a book”, and now I think I’m going to have to recommend this book to every queer person I know. 

I laughed, I cried, and felt so seen. The writing was so endearing and felt like a giant hug I didn’t know I needed. 

I already know this is going to be a book I keep coming back to whenever I feel I need it.

Earnest and heartfelt, Brammer explores his identities as a gay Mexican American man through his semi-parodic advice column. His writing has a witty, engaging rhythm to it that carries the reader through some dark recollections -- not as dark as things could have gotten, but more than enough.
his humor is graceful, not cruel, and hopeful. Even in absurd, tragic moments.
