      In this Latinx adult romance debut from National Book Award Finalist Sonora Reyes, two friends enter a marriage of convenience to prevent one from deportation, but their relationship takes an unexpected turn as they fall in love. Alejandro, known as Han, has always kept his heart guarded, leading others to believe he is commitment-phobic. However, he begins to realize that his emotional distance stems from a fear of confronting his own identity and the anxiety of being undocumented in a hostile environment. Meanwhile, his best friend Kenny is trapped in a draining relationship with a girlfriend who wants him to abandon Han. Afraid of being alone and punished for his choices, Kenny has let her dictate his life. When she forces him to choose between her and his best friend, he recognizes where his loyalty truly lies. Yet, their situation complicates when Han loses his job that was supposed to sponsor his work visa, leaving them both anxious. To provide security for Han and perhaps make his ex jealous, Kenny proposes a marriage of convenience. However, neither is prepared for the genuine feelings that arise as they pretend to be madly in love.

    • Der 16-jährigen Yamilet Flores wäre es lieber, für ihren tollen Eyeliner bekannt zu sein, als dafür, dass sie eines der einzigen mexikanischen Kinder an ihrer weißen, sehr reichen katholischen Schule ist. Aber wenigstens weiß hier niemand, dass sie queer ist, und Yami will, dass das auch so bleibt. Nachdem sie vor ihrem Wechsel auf die katholische Schule Slayton von ihrem heimlichen Schwarm und ehemaliger besten Freundin geoutet wurde , hat Yami neue Prioritäten: ihren Bruder aus Schwierigkeiten herauszuhalten , ihre Mutter stolz zu machen und, was am wichtigsten ist, sich nicht zu verlieben . Allerdings ist es schwer, so zu tun, als sei man hetero, wenn Bo, das einzige offen queere Mädchen an der Schule , so nervtötend perfekt ist. Und klug. Und begabt. Und süß . So süß. Wie auch immer ... Yami wird den gleichen Fehler nicht noch einmal machen. Oder doch?
