Right Where I Left You
Julian Winters
- "Some
- books
- are
- downright
- fun,
- and
- Right
- Where
- I
- Left
- You
- is
- one
- .
- .
- .
- Winters
- sends
- a
- quiet
- but
- important
- message
- that
- queer
- Black
- and
- brown
- kids
- deserve
- to
- live
- happily
- ever
- after
- too.
- .
- .
- Winters
- weaves
- all
- of
- these
- threads—the
- romance,
- the
- relatable
- anxiety,
- the
- message
- —
- into
- a
- book
- that,
- like
- a
- crush,
- you
- won’t
- be
- able
- to
- get
- out
- of
- your
- head."—The
- New
- York
- TimesIsaac
- Martin
- is
- ready
- to
- kick
- off
- summer.
- His
- last
- before
- heading
- off
- to
- college
- in
- the
- fall
- where
- he
- won't
- have
- his
- best
- friend,
- Diego.
- Where—despite
- his
- social
- anxiety—he’ll
- be
- left
- to
- make
- friends
- on
- his
- own.
- Knowing
- his
- time
- with
- Diego
- is
- limited,
- Isaac
- enacts
- a
- foolproof
- plan:
- snatch
- up
- a
- pair
- of
- badges
- for
- the
- epic
- comic
- convention,
- Legends
- Con,
- and
- attend
- his
- first
- ever
- Teen
- Pride.
- Just
- him
- and
- Diego.But
- when
- an
- unexpected
- run-in
- with
- Davi—Isaac’s
- old
- crush—distracts
- him
- the
- day
- tickets
- go
- on
- sale,
- suddenly
- he’s
- two
- badges
- short
- of
- a
- perfect
- summer.
- Even
- worse,
- now
- he’s
- left
- making
- it
- up
- to
- Diego
- by
- hanging
- with
- him
- and
- his
- gamer
- buddies.
- Decidedly
- NOT
- part
- of
- the
- original
- plan.
- It’s
- not
- all
- bad,
- though.
- Some
- of
- Diego’s
- friends
- turn
- out
- to
- be
- pretty
- cool,
- and
- when
- things
- with
- Davi
- start
- heating
- up,
- Isaac
- is
- almost
- able
- to
- forget
- about
- his
- Legends
- Con
- blunder.
- Almost.
- Because
- then
- Diego
- finds
- out
- what
- really
- happened
- that
- day
- with
- Davi,
- and
- their
- friendship
- lands
- on
- thin
- ice.
- Isaac
- assumes
- he’s
- upset
- about
- missing
- the
- convention,
- but
- could
- Diego
- have
- other
- reasons
- for
- avoiding Isaac?
