Hola Papi is the book you need to read ASAP, especially if you love witty writing and relatable lovable memoirs.
With the strong introspective voice of John Paul Brammer, Hola Papi works as a fresh expansion of Brammer’s advice column in order to give insight into his life, and the lessons he has learned so far. These essays cover the typical life questions any burned-out young adult has asked in terms of sexuality, racial heritage, career choices, and love life. Growing up biracial and gay in rural Oklahoma, John Paul Brammer allows you to use his life experience as a learning and entertainment tool that will irrevocably touch your queer or straight soul.
The experience of reading Hola Papi can only be described as that perfect meeting with a friend over drinks or coffee, when both of you bond over traumas, ex-partners, and your obsession with crime podcasts. Brammer manages to touch on important subjects with delicacy and humor, which leaves you in tears or laughing out loud.
I would recommend Hola Papi to anyone who loves reading about real people that are learning to live just like you. Brammer is the perfect companion for a lazy summer afternoon, a walk in the morning, and a sleepless night. I have the feeling that the audiobook version would be an amazing way to enjoy this story, and I am looking forward to what JP has for us in the future.
