An Armenian-American woman rediscovers her roots and embraces who she really is in this vibrant and heartfelt queer rom-com by debut author Taleen Voskuni.
When Nareh Bedrossian\'s non-Armenian boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunk San Francisco tech boys, she realizes it\'s time to find someone who shares her idea of romance.
Enter her mother: armed with plenty of mom-guilt and a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked Armenian men, she convinces Nar to attend Explore Armenia, a month-long series of events in the city.
Her worlds will inevitably collide, but Nar is determined to be brave and to claim her happiness: proudly Armenian, proudly bisexual, and proudly herself for the first time in her life..
The clock is ticking on her double life--the Explore Armenia closing banquet is coming up, and her entire extended family will be there, along with Erebuni.
But there\'s one teeny problem: Nar\'s not exactly out as bisexual. sexy?Erebuni helps Nar see the beauty of their shared culture and makes her feel understood in a way she never has before. . .
Who knew cooking up kuftes together could be so .
Suddenly, with Erebuni as her wingwoman, the events feel like far less of a chore, and much more of an adventure.
But it\'s not the mom-approved playboy doctor or the wealthy engineer who catch Nar\'s eye--it\'s Erebuni, a woman as immersed in the witchy arts as she is in preserving Armenian identity.
