Brammer is funny and thoughtful, and he has some really good zingers in this book, as well as important insight into queer culture. This was a nice collection of essays. I liked the frame of the advice column for each chapter topic.

¡Hola Papi! was overall a much more serious read than I was expecting given the title and cover. It was an engrossing, quick read that covered some heavy topics.

Short and sweet! JP Brammer is so wise and, frankly, doesn’t give himself enough credit for getting through it all.
