Loca by Alejandro Heredia
In 1999 New York, best friends Sal and Charo struggle to keep their dreams alive: Sal, a bookish science lover haunted by his past in Santo Domingo, and Charo, a young mother trapped in a controlling relationship and a dead-end job. When Sal finds connection in a vibrant queer social circle, both their worlds expand and force them to confront their identities, pasts, and what they owe to themselves and to each other. The novel explores migration, belonging, and the ways friendship can become a chosen home.
