Juliet Takes a Breath

â€œI strongly encourage you to read Juliet Takes a Breath. It's quite dazzling, funny as hell, poignant, all the things.â€“Roxane Gay

â€œEven if Holden Caulfield was born in the Bronx in the 1980s, he could never be this awesome.â€

Inga Muscio, author of Cunt

Juliet Milagros Palante is leaving the Bronx and headed to Portland, Oregon. She just came out to her family and isnâ€™t sure if her mom will ever speak to her again. But Juliet has a plan, sort of, one thatâ€™s going to help her figure out this whole â€œPuerto Rican lesbianâ€ thing. Sheâ€™s interning with the author of her favorite book: Harlowe Brisbane, the ultimate authority on feminism, womenâ€™s bodies, and other gay-sounding stuff.

Will Juliet be able to figure out her life over the course of one magical summer? Is that even possible? Or is she running away from all the problems that seem too big to handle?

With more questions than answers, Juliet takes on Portland, Harlowe, and most importantly, herself.
