Description

An Armenian-American woman rediscovers her roots and embraces who she really is in this vibrant and heartfelt queer rom-com by debut author Taleen Voskuni.
 
When Nareh Bedrossian’s non-Armenian boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunk San Francisco tech boys, she realizes it’s time to find someone who shares her idea of romance.
 
Enter her mother: armed with plenty of mom-guilt and a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked Armenian men, she convinces Nar to attend Explore Armenia, a month-long series of events in the city. But it’s not the mom-approved playboy doctor or the wealthy engineer who catch Nar’s eye—it’s Erebuni, a woman as immersed in the witchy arts as she is in preserving Armenian identity. Suddenly, with Erebuni as her wingwoman, the events feel like far less of a chore, and much more of an adventure. Who knew cooking up kuftes together could be so . . . sexy?
 
Erebuni helps Nar see the beauty of their shared culture and makes her feel understood in a way she never has before. But there’s one teeny problem: Nar’s not exactly out as bisexual. The clock is ticking on her double life—the Explore Armenia closing banquet is coming up, and her entire extended family will be there, along with Erebuni. Her worlds will inevitably collide, but Nar is determined to be brave and to claim her happiness: proudly Armenian, proudly bisexual, and proudly herself for the first time in her life.

        October 24, 2022
        Voskuni debuts with a bighearted queer rom-com uniquely inflected with Armenian American culture. People pleaser Nar Bedrossian is in a tepid but happy relationship—until her white boyfriend proposes in a way that makes it clear he doesn’t understand her at all. Nar’s mother, delighted to help Nar find someone who will, builds her a spreadsheet of every eligible Armenian man in San Francisco and sends her off to the city’s Explore Armenia festival. It’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with her roots, and maybe make a real connection with one of the men on the list. Except that the first person she meets is a fascinating, witchy, and gorgeous woman named Erebuni. Amid cooking classes and traditional dances, Erebuni sweeps Nar off her feet, and suddenly her long-hidden bisexuality can no longer be ignored. She’s finally found someone who loves her for all of herself—but can she find the bravery to disrupt her family’s image of her as the dutiful, “straight” daughter and let them see her true self? It’s entirely believable that Nar falls head over heels for the effortlessly cool Erebuni because readers will, too. The stakes and tension are relatively low, but it’s easy to invest in the characters and the Armenian American cultural details add charm. This is a treat. Agent: Katelyn Detweiler, Jill Grinberg Literary.

      • content: Iranian Armenian narrator Christine Mirzayan gives a dazzling performance in her audiobook debut. In a warm, round voice, she voices Nar, a 20-something Armenian who finally gives in to her mother's requests for her to get more involved in the community. Her mother is hoping she'll meet the perfect man--she even has spreadsheets of potential matches--but Nar meets the perfect woman instead. Mirzayan's obvious comfort with the Armenian language makes this an extra special listen as she seamlessly switches between Armenian and English, smoothly distinguishes first- and second- generation accents, and brings the diverse San Francisco Armenian community to life. Her heartfelt narration adds to the pleasure of this joyful celebration of food, family, and Armenian culture. L.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
