¡Hola Papi!: How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons by John Paul Brammer

4.0

---

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.
