A tender and heartfelt queer YA novel about the multiplicities of grief, deeply held family secrets, and finding new love.
Isaac Griffin has always felt something was missing from his life. And for good reason: he's never met his dad. He'd started to believe he'd never belong in this world, that the scattered missing pieces of his life would never come together, when he discovers a box hidden deep in the attic with his father's name on it.
When the first clue points him to San Francisco, he sets off with his boyfriend to find the answers, and the person he’s been waiting his whole life for. But when his vintage station wagon breaks down (and possibly his relationship too) they are forced to rely on an unusual girl who goes by Max—and has her own familial pain—to take them the rest of the way.
Â
As his family history is revealed, Isaac finds himself drawing closer to Max. Using notes his dad had written decades ago, the two of them retrace his father’s steps during the weeks leading up to the Compton's Cafeteria Riot in San Francisco, a precursor to the Stonewall Riots a few years later. Only to discover, as he learns about the past that perhaps the missing pieces of his life weren't ever missing at all.

Great shape
Format: Hardcover
Book is in great shape. Took a while to get here but in great shape. Could have taken off the $1.99 good will sticker. Kind of made me feel like I was ripped off.

simplemente magnífico
Format: Kindle
Siempre he creído en el efecto placebo, pero ignoraba el placebo era yo y esto cambia todo, pues el cambio viene de adentro, no se requiere un estímulo externo. El Dr Dispensa explica de manera científica cómo es que nosotros somos el placebo. Este tipo de validación científica será muy valiosa para los que buscan eso, yo prefiero experimentarlo y ver los resultados. En mi caso, tenía un ataque de gota horrible en mi dedo del dedo gordo del pie izquierdo y en cuestión de días ha mejorado increíblemente, sin medicamentos, solo cambiando mi estado del ser, maravilloso !
Súper recomendable el libro.

EL INICIO DE UN VERDADERO CAMBIO
Cuando terminé de leer Deja de Ser Tu, quedé sorprendido e incluso, llegué a pensar : “es el mejor libro que he leído”, sin embargó, llegó este libro y fue el complemento perfecto. Lleno de mucha información, tan clara como elocuente, el Dr. Joe Dispenza nos enseña que la vida de nuestros sueños está más cerca de lo que creemos. Eso sí, no crean que todo es rápido y sencillo, requiere de un trabajo previo y concienzudo. Regálense el gusto de leer tan enriquecedor e invaluable libro.
