Juliet Takes a Breath

Juliet Takes a Breath is an unforgettable queer coming-of-age story that explores race, identity, and what it means to be true to yourself.

Juliet Milagros Palante, a 17-year-old from the Bronx, embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she navigates her identity as a Puerto Rican lesbian.

With the help of her mentor, Harlowe Brisbane, a white feminist author, Juliet learns to embrace her true self and find her voice in a world that often seeks to silence her.

Through vulnerable and incisive narration, Rivera's graphic novel adaptation is a stunning exploration of identity, love, and acceptance.

With opulent, jewel-tone illustrations and depictions of brown and Black bodies presented with tenderness and fluidity, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to explore their own identity and find their place in the world.
