About this item
The first time someone called John Paul (JP) Brammer "Papi" was on the popular gay hookup app Grindr. At first, it was flattering; JP took this as white-guy speak for "hey, handsome." Who doesn't want to be called handsome But then it happened again and again ... and again, leaving JP wondering: Who the hell is Papi What started as a racialized moniker given to him on a hookup app soon became the inspiration for his now wildly popular advice column "Hola Papi!", launching his career as the Cheryl Strayed for young queer people everywhere - and some straight people too. JP had his doubts at first - what advice could he really offer while he himself stumbled through his early 20s Sometimes the best advice to dole outcomes from looking within, which is what JP has done in his column and book - and readers have flocked to him for honest, heartfelt wisdom, and of course a few laughs.
