About this listen
From the author of When You Call My Name comes a fresh speculative young adult standalone that is a flawless blend of romance and coming-of-age; perfect for fans of Last Night at the Telegraph Club and Adam Silvera.
High school has just ended and Eddie is at a loss for what's next. He had a falling out with his best friend, and he never really related to the rest of his peers in the sleepy Colorado suburb he calls home. The future holds no promise for him currently, so he finds solace in his imagination.
Until his eccentric great aunt Cookie asks him to come to New York to take care of her in her old age. Eddie leaps at the opportunity, and when he arrives in the city his life begins to find some direction. Especially after Cookie asks Eddie to take a vintage polaroid camera to snap pictures of her favorite places since she can't leave the home, and the camera begins to launch Eddie back in time to an entirely different New York of the early 20th century.
As Eddie explores the underground queer life of the 1920s, he begins to get in touch with the undercurrents of his own identity. Not to mention there's a dangerously handsome boy who keeps popping up in his visions of the past. But when Eddie begins to develop a crush on the mercurial Francis, a cute baker named Theo enters the picture—and he's in the present. Caught between timelines and feelings, Eddie must make a decision about what he's willing to chase: his fantasies or a reality that might just be what he's wanted all along.
Right Here, Right Now is a compelling coming-in story—a rare novel that manages to show its protagonist coming into himself and embracing the possibility of his future—and is sure to resonate with teens that are waiting for their lives to begin.
