"Some books are downright fun, and Right Where I Left You is one . . . Winters sends a quiet but important message that queer Black and brown kids deserve to live happily ever after too. . . Winters weaves all of these threadsтАФthe romance, the relatable anxiety, the message тАФ into a book that, like a crush, you wonтАЩt be able to get out of your head."тАФThe New York Times
Isaac Martin is ready to kick off summer. His last before heading off to college in the fall where he won't have his best friend, Diego. WhereтАФdespite his social anxietyтАФheтАЩll be left to make friends on his own. Knowing his time with Diego is limited, Isaac enacts a foolproof plan: snatch up a pair of badges for the epic comic convention, Legends Con, and attend his first ever Teen Pride. Just him and Diego.
But when an unexpected run-in with DaviтАФIsaacтАЩs old crushтАФdistracts him the day tickets go on sale, suddenly heтАЩs two badges short of a perfect summer. Even worse, now heтАЩs left making it up to Diego by hanging with him and his gamer buddies. Decidedly NOT part of the original plan. ItтАЩs not all bad, though. Some of DiegoтАЩs friends turn out to be pretty cool, and when things with Davi start heating up, Isaac is almost able to forget about his Legends Con blunder. Almost. Because then Diego finds out what really happened that day with Davi, and their friendship lands on thin ice. Isaac assumes heтАЩs upset about missing the convention, but could Diego have other reasons for avoiding Isaac?
