HOLA PAPI How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons

John Paul Brammer narrates his funny, honest collection of essays. Framing each story with a question, in the same way that he does in his advice column, "Hola Papi," Brammer speaks to the listener as if they were the writer of each letter. This engaging conversational style creates a warm openness that is welcoming and reassuring. Brammer blends humor and self-reflection when discussing coming-of-age experiences, moving through trauma, the bonds of friendship and relationships, and the long and winding road to selfhood. Brammer's writing is both poignant and casual, and in his narration he shares painful and joyous moments with a calm, compassionate eye, relaxed pacing, and a relatable delivery.
