James, an Asian boy who likes video games and romantic comedies, realizes he’s gay while attending college in Boston. He begins a whirlwind exploration of the gay world, negotiating its many pitfalls, including the first kiss, his first love and the first drugs. At the same time, he has to manage his insecurities and the constant pressure from his tiger mom. After Stan, a charismatic young man, dumps him, James schemes with his calculating MIT brain to get Stan back, but loses himself along the way. Will he get what he’s after?

“A wonderful debut novel, not your typical coming out story. It has true depth, grace, and vividly drawn characters that entice the reader into this beautifully crafted story. The emotions and concerns are genuine. Timothy Wang tells a fascinating yarn with an unrivaled voice.”
—Alan Chin, author of Butterfly’s Child and Island Song
