Cuban American Camila Núñez has always been afraid of the future. She’s been working hard to keep her anxieties in check, but with so many new experiences―her first queer love, trouble with her dog walking job, her mother’s judgments about her body, learning to drive, her father being too busy with work―there’s just so much to worry about.
So when Camila’s best friend gives her a tarot card reading for her sixteenth birthday, she believes it when the cards predict terrible things to come. As the year unfolds, the cards seem to be spot-on―is her papi having an affair? Will her best friend’s love life ruin their friendship? Are all her relationships doomed to fail?
Whether she’s ready or not, Camila will have to reckon with all the ways her fear about the future is ruining her life and learn to find peace amidst it all.

      Over the summer—during which 15-year-old Camila Núñez travels from Raleigh, N.C., to Miami, where she spends the season with her maternal Cuban American family—Camila meets her cousin’s friend Sonia. Camila and Sonia soon pursue a romantic relationship, the emotionally tumultuous nature and dissolution of which takes a toll on anxious Camila. Returning to Raleigh, Camila’s best friend performs a tarot reading that fills Camila with foreboding. Her anxiety comes to a head upon meeting nonbinary, self-assured Devon; as she attempts to start a romance with them, Camila realizes she must reckon with her past with Sonia, as well
      as insecurities about her body. She also notices growing tension between her parents that leaves Camila worried that her negative tarot reading will come to fruition. Eschewing stereotypical depictions of religion, prejudice, and their effects on one’s identity, Pérez utilizes compassionate and empathetic prose to explore sexuality, the Cuban diaspora, anxiety, and self-esteem as Camila grows and matures over the course of a year in this introspective debut. Ages 14–up. Agent: Elizabeth Copps, Copps Literary.
