(3) YA After being dumped due to his singular focus, self-proclaimed "cat video tycoon" Rick Gutiérrez takes up salsa dancing. To impress Ana, his fellow dancer/rebound crush, he takes her to Havana to visit his estranged family and study salsa. Rick's snarky voice, self-aware awkwardness, and (surprisingly relevant) internet savvy humorously balance the story's complex and poignant explorations of identity, romantic relationships, family, class, and politics.
