(March 7, 2023; 9781419752438) the all-new original graphic novel from the
bestselling creator of *A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns* and *Grease
Bats, *Archie Bongiovanni.

In this charmingly gritty and heartfelt ode to friendships, found families,
aging, and self-care*, *MIMOSA follows thirty-something queers Chris,
Elise, Jo, and Alex as they work to keep themselves afloat. Their regular
brunches hold them together even as the rest of their lives threaten to
fall apart. In an effort to avoid being the oldest gays at the party, the
crew decides to put on a new queer event called Grind—specifically for
queers in their dirty thirties. But soon the pressures of life, love, work,
and friendship threaten to bring down their found family and soon they'll
realize aging isn't what they thought it would be. MIMOSA is an unflinching
and funny, sexy and serious story about growing up and growing apart one
brunch at a time.
