A young adult novel, as evidenced by the acknowledgment of inspiration from Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and Judy Blume's Forever. The narrative centers on Adam Thorn, a teenage boy navigating a tumultuous day involving his strained relationship with his religious, homophobic parents and brother Marty, a disturbing incident of sexual harassment by his boss Wade, and the imminent departure of his best friend Angela and his former lover Enzo. Intertwined with Adam's story is a concurrent magical realism plotline featuring a Queen/spirit entity connected to the recent murder of Katherine van Leuwen and a faun, suggesting a parallel quest for release and justice. The story explores themes of identity, love (specifically gay teenage love with his new boyfriend Linus), family, and societal pressures.
