¡Hola Papi!: How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons
by John Paul Brammer
emotional
funny
hopeful
medium-paced
Because this is an autobiography, it automatically gets five stars (I don't technically rate them). But Wow, As a Queer Mexican-American, I read this and couldn't put it down. It is truly so honest and reflects on how imperfect one can be within their own identity and that it is OKAY to be so.
Adding on, I have two queer brothers who I have helped raise. One of my biggest worries is not being able to understand their experiences since they are Mexican-American men who have grown up in a very misogynistic and homophobic environment. Reading this made me think of them, and although no singular experience is equally the same. I hope that my brothers are able to reach this kind of acceptance toward their own identities sometime in their lives.
