In this propulsive debut novel, Queering Him, Katherine Wela Bogen chronicles the scalding-hot story of millennial enemies turned lovers Avra and Kieran. Bullied by Kieran in high school, Avra begins to recognize something familiar in his threatening but always lingering gaze. What if he's cruel not only because he fears her being out as queer, but because he secretly covets it himself? Mutual fascination slowly evolves into obsession, tethering Avra and Kieran to each other through early adulthood as they embark on a relationship both perilous and revelatory. A heart-shattering tale of erotic yearning, Queering Him is also a provocative contribution to the social and psychological discourse about bisexuality, queer identity, and kink.
