Ethan and Gabe’s Marriage takes a turn when Ethan decides to run for congress as an openly gay republican, throwing Gabe’s life and identity into a tailspin. SAHM Nicole decides to stir up her life by reaching out to her old flame Kate, a successful journalist and sister to congressional hopeful Ethan.
The novel revolves around identity- Nicole is a bisexual woman married to a cishet man, trapped in heteronormativity. Gabe is a liberal losing his identity to his husband’s conservative politics. How do we sleep at night, when our identities are being questioned or flat out ignored?
