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

Demora para te encantar

O tema do livro é bem legal. A personagem principal passa por diversas situações de crescimento que são sensíveis e trazem reflexões importantes. Entretanto, o livro demora para te encantar. Demorei muito para ler a primeira metade por conta disso. Depois que Juliet começa a ser mais adulta, o livro te prende mais e a história fica envolvente. Por isso, recomendo a leitura.
