About This Book
Ro, newly diagnosed with autism and a patient navigator for people seeking gender-affirming care, lives with Liam in a ramshackle cabin on the Florida Panhandle. A visiting teenager, an online fantasy serial, and a patient call send their uneasy paradise spinning toward disaster in a novel about queer family, neurodiversity, and care. Longlisted for the 2026 National Book Award for Fiction.
