Synopsis:
Cuban-American Camila Nuñez has always been afraid of the future. Maybe it’s because her mami seems to make worrying about her a full-time job or because she’s uncomfortable in her own skin. But whatever the cause, she can’t seem to shake her anxiety and panic attacks. So when Camila’s best friend gives her a tarot card reading for her birthday, she believes it when the cards portend 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 tank their friendship? Is her new, nonbinary love interest going to break her heart like the girl in Miami did?Whether she likes it or not, Camila is forced to reckon with all the ways her fear about the future is ruining her life, and what it will really take to get back on track.
Miriam Zoila Pérez is an award-winning queer Cuban writer and activist. Their work, which mostly looks at the intersections of race, health and gender, is motivated by a desire to understand how the world shapes our bodies, and to explore all the many solutions that already exist for some of our biggest problems, but simply don’t get the attention they deserve.
Their debut young adult fiction novel, Camila Núñez’s Year of Disasters, will be published by Page Street YA in 2025. They will also be publishing a non-fiction book with their podcast co-host Verónica Bayetti Flores, Muévelo, published by Running Press.
Their writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Guardian and Colorlines, among other outlets. Pérez’s work has appeared in a number of anthologies, including the NYT Bestselling anthology, Not That Bad, edited by Roxane Gay. Pérez’s 2016 TED Talk How Racism is Harming Pregnant Women–and What Can Help, has been viewed over a million times. Pérez is the author of the self-published Radical Doula Guide: A Political Primer for Full-Spectrum Pregnancy and Childbirth Support.
