Beating Heart Baby

Emo indie rock-powered LGBTQ+ coming-of-age tale.

If parallel journeys of self-discovery and redemption resonate with you, "Beating Heart Baby" might just be your next favorite read. Lio Min has crafted an intimate portrait of youth entangled in the world of music and the complexities of identity. The dynamic between Santi and Suwa evolves profoundly, creating a rich narrative that'll pull at your heartstrings with its authentic portrayal of friendship, love, and the courage to face one's past. Embrace the raw emotion and the electrifying world of indie rock as you dive into their story.

Description

Lio Min’s Beating Heart Baby is a love letter to internet friendships, anime, and indie rock. When artistic and sensitive Santi arrives at his new high school, everyone in the wildly talented marching band welcomes him with open arms. Everyone except for the prickly, proud musical prodigy Suwa, who doesn’t think Santi has what it takes to be in the band. But Santi and Suwa share painful pasts, and when they open up to each other, a tentative friendship begins. And soon, that friendship turns into something more. Will their fresh start rip at the seams as Suwa seeks out a solo spotlight, and both boys come to terms with what it'll take, and what they'll have to let go, to realize their dreams?
