I know Alex Sanchez through Rainbow Boys and his other GLTQ YA books. What power will he find when he searches for his identity, and will he turn his back to the current or dive head first into the waves? Jake's life begins to outpace his small town's namesake, which doesn't make it any easier to come out to his mom, or Maria, or the world.īut Jake is full of secrets, including the strange blue markings on his skin that glow when in contact with water. And certainly not when he secretly applies to Miami University. Yet there's nothing "safe" about Jake's future-not when he's attracted to Kenny Liu, swim team captain and rebel against conformity.
But his best friend, Maria, wants nothing more than to make a home in the desert, and Jake's mother encourages him to always play it safe. Luckily, he lives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which is in the middle of the desert, yet he yearns for the ocean and is determined to leave his hometown for a college on the coast. Jake Hyde doesn't swim-not since his father drowned. The voices that shaped LGBTQ Young Adult literature, Lambda Award-Winning author Alex Sanchez ( Rainbow Boys) and New York Times bestselling illustrator Julie Maroh ( Blue Is the Warmest Color), present a new coming-out romance set against the backdrop of the DC Universe.
