Colin drunkenly falls into the water in Provincetown after David and Brandon's wedding, and gets saved by Hernán. They talk briefly and Colin is very attracted to him, but Hernán is a bit skittish. They get reunited the next day when Colin is out to lunch with Brandon and overhears a conversation where Hernán is getting threatened and blackmailed. Colin works for a non-profit that helps with immigration, so Colin offers to help Hernán.
Through the book, we learn about Hernán's past and family, his journey to America, and his fears. We see Hernán face most of his demons with the help of Colin, and find comfort with himself. We watch him fall in love, and it was beautiful. The two were such a great characters separately, but together, they were even more. I loved reading their story.
Robert is such a talented writer. His books are intelligent and enjoyable. There is a depth to them that drew me right in. He doesn't shy away from controversial topics, and he brought what looks like a realistic portrayal of what illegal immigrants coming to the US could be fearing and experiencing. I also liked that he acknowledged Colin's privilege and had Hernán call Colin out on it at times. The more society can look at broader perspectives outside of our own, the more we can grow as a society.
