  Joe Jiménez: Hot Boy Summer

  San Antonio boy Joe Jiménez sets the page alight with his new young adult novel, which hits a lighter tone than his Hamlet-esque debut, Bloodline. In Hot Boy Summer, freshly out Texan teen Mac struggles to find his place and let go of shame while making new gay friends who both help and complicate his journey. Author Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street) showers effusive praise on the coming-of-gayge book, calling it “[hotter] than a Jalapeño Whataburger with spicy ketchup and Cholula.” Celebrate the release of what’s sure to be a queer summertime classic with the author at BookPeople, where you can get a signed copy. – James Scott
