I didn't expect to inhale I Might Be In Trouble in two sittings.
It's one that can't easily be described. But do know it's completely addictive!
Thank you to Grand Central Publishing for my gifted ARC for review.
David Alvarez is a best selling author - well, his debut novel was a best seller, not his second. He's a single gay man in New York City, struggling financially until he can get another book contract. His family is dense and unsupportive, and he longs for a relationship like the one he had with Jeremy.
In the meantime, dates will do. And one goes entirely sideways when he wakes up in the elegant Plaza hotel next to a dead man.
What ensues alongside his literary agent Stacey is darkly humorous and tense. Choices are made, and they're not necessarily wise ones.
It's truly the characters that made this one for me. Author Daniel Aleman made David, Stacey et al. absolutely pop off the page, despite the craziest of situations.
I Might Be In Trouble is not farce - we get to know David and his struggles, learn of his heartbreak of loss, creative ruminating, and feeling that a gay man is never truly accepted in society.
Absolutely recommended!
For release on Dec. 3.
