Synopsis
"Rod Pulido delivers the ultimate one-two punch: bare-knuckled, bruising honesty wrapped in humor, sincerity, and sweetness." -- Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda Experience the extreme joys, sorrows, and triumphs of a queer Filipino-American teenager struggling to prove himself in an unforgiving world. A poignant coming-of-age story, perfect for fans of Patron Saints of Nothing and Juliet Takes a Breath. Self preservation. That's Bobby's motto for surviving his notoriously violent high school unscathed. Being out and queer would put an unavoidable target on his back, especially in a Filipino community that frowns on homosexuality. It's best to keep his head down, get good grades, and stay out of trouble. But when Bobby is unwillingly outed in a terrible way, he no longer has the luxury of being invisible. A vicious encounter has him scrambling for a new way to survive--by fighting back. Bobby is inspired by champion Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao to take up boxing and challenge his tormentor. But when Pacquiao publicly declares his stance against queer people, Bobby's faith--in his hero and in himself--is shaken to the core. A powerful and unflinching debut that will both shatter and uplift hearts with every read., "Rod Pulido delivers the ultimate one-two punch- bare-knuckled, bruising honesty wrapped in humor, sincerity, and sweetness." - Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda Experience the extreme joys, sorrows, and triumphs of a queer Filipino-American teenager struggling to prove himself in an unforgiving world.

- 4***c (778)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller cancelled the sale due to a serious mistake they made in pricing (far too low). Instead of being honest with me (the buyer) about their mistake, the seller dishonestly claimed: "I'm out of stock or the item is damaged". The Evidence - The seller then immediately listed the same item back for sale at a much higher price.
