F***ing outstanding.--Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author Juliet Milagros Palante is a self-proclaimed closeted Puerto Rican baby dyke from the Bronx. Only, she's not so closeted anymore. Not after coming out to her family the night before flying to Portland, Oregon, to intern with her favorite feminist writer--what's sure to be a life-changing experience. And when Juliet's coming out crashes and burns, she's not sure her mom will ever speak to her again. But Juliet has a plan--sort of. Her internship with legendary author Harlowe Brisbane, the ultimate authority on feminism, women's bodies, and other gay-sounding stuff, is sure to help her figure out this whole Puerto Rican lesbian thing. Except Harlowe's white. And not from the Bronx. And she definitely doesn't have all the answers . . . In a summer bursting with queer brown dance parties, a sexy fling with a motorcycling librarian, and intense explorations of race and identity, Juliet learns what it means to come out--to the world, to her family, to herself.
Gabby Rivera is a Bronx-born queer Latinx babe on a mission to create the wildest, most fun stories ever. She is the author of the sold-out smash solo series AMERICA about America Chavez, featuring Marvel's first queer Latina superhero, and has also written in the Lumberjanes universe for Boom! Studios. Juliet Takes a Breath is her debut novel. Gabby now makes magic on both coasts, currently residing in California. She writes for all the sweet baby queers and her mom. When not writing, Gabby speaks on her experiences as a QTPOC writer, her work as an LGBTQ youth advocate, and the importance of centering joy in narratives as Latinx people and people of color at events across the country.
