This is Why They Hate Us

Purple painting of two young men holding hands
Age Level: Young Adult

Enrique “Quique” Luna has one goal this summer — get over his crush on Saleem Kanazi by pursuing his other romantic prospects. Never mind that he’s only out to his best friend, Fabiola. Never mind that he has absolutely zero game. And definitely forget the fact that good and kind and, not to mention, beautiful Saleem is leaving LA for the summer to reunite with a girl his parents are trying to set him up with. But as the summer heats up and his deep-seated fears and anxieties boil over, Quique soon realizes that living his truth can come at a high cost.
