Joaquin Zoido is out and proud of it. And while he knew his dad and sister, Carmen, would be super supportive, he wasnt quite ready for them to surprise him with a “queerceera,” a coming out party to celebrate him. Between all the talks of tastings, venues, and the chirping of his familys RSVP texts, the question of who will be his chambeln is on everyones mind.

What Joaquin is decidedly trying to not think about is whether his mom is going attend or if shes finally replaced him with her favorite godson, Felixthe boy who made Joaquin realize he was gay and who was his first kiss. But when an impromptu lie snowballs into a full-fledged family-group-chat rumor, every Zoido from Texas to Mexico starts believing that Felix is not only Joaquins chambeln, but also his brand-new boyfriend.

To avoid the pity and sympathies of an ill-timed breakup, Joaquin and Felix strike a dealtheyll stay fake boyfriends until the party. Yet, as the day draws nearer and old feelings spark anew, Joaquin will have to decide whether a picture-perfect queerceaera with a fake boyfriend is worth giving up the chance of something real.
