โฆ Synopsis
All Luis Gonzalez wants is to go to prom with his boyfriend, something his โprogressiveโ high school still doesnโt allow. Not after what happened with Chaz Wilson. But that was ages ago, when Luisโs parents were in high school; it would never happen today, right? Heโs determined to find a way to give his LGBTQ friends the respect they deserve (while also not risking his chance to be prom king, just sayingโฆ).
When a hit on the head knocks him back in time to 1985 and he meets the doomed young Chaz himself, Luis concocts a new planโheโs going to give this guy his first real kiss. Though it turns out a conservative school in the โ80s isnโt the safest place to be a gay kid. Especially with homophobes running the campus, including Gordo (aka Luisโs estranged father). Luis is in over his head, trying not to make things worseโand hoping he makes it back to present day at all.
In a story thatโs fresh, intersectional, and wickedly funny, David Valdes introduces a big-mouthed, big-hearted, queer character that readers wonโt soon forget.
