NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A heartfelt and hilarious memoir-in-essays about growing up with a unique perspective, finding hope, and navigating life's awkward moments. R. Eric Thomas, praised by Lin-Manuel Miranda for his humor, shares his journey as he discovers his differences through various life experiences. A FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD and recognized as one of the best books of the year by multiple outlets, Thomas reflects on being an “other” in different environments, from a predominantly white suburban high school to a conservative black church and an Ivy League college. His essays blend humor and sincerity as he examines his childhood, the stark contrast between his urban home and the idyllic school, and the challenges of reconciling his Christian faith with his sexuality. He candidly discusses the exhaustion of code-switching, his unexpected rise to internet fame, and the surreal experience of covering the 2016 election. Ultimately, he seeks answers to pressing questions about the future and the meaning of “normal.” This memoir resonates with anyone who has felt marginalized, struggled with self-acceptance, or sought to shine in a challenging world. Stay here for it—the future may surprise you.
