About this item
A year in the life of the unforgettable Catalina Ituralde, a wickedly wry and heartbreakingly vulnerable student at an elite college, forced to navigate an opaque past, an uncertain future, and the tantalizing possibilities of love and freedom.

“Diabolically charming and magnetic. I enjoyed the hell out of this little exploding geyser of a book.” —Ira Glass

Catalina’s admission to Harvard feels like destiny fulfilled—a miracle child who escapes death in Latin America, moves to Queens to be raised by undocumented grandparents, and becomes one of the chosen. But nothing is simple for Catalina, least of all her own intricate and contradictory mind. Now a senior, she faces graduation with a sense of impending doom, as the world outside offers no place for the undocumented.

As Catalina infiltrates the elite subcultures of Harvard—internships, literary journals, posh parties, and secret societies—she views them through the eyes of an anthropologist and an outsider. Her fascination and repulsion intermingle as she craves a great romance and is drawn to a fellow student, an aspiring anthropologist eager to introduce her to the Latin American world she was born into but never truly knew. Meanwhile, her life back in Queens unravels, and the ticking clock edges closer to the abyss of life after graduation.

In Catalina, part campus novel, part hagiography, part pop song, Catalina confronts profound questions about identity, belonging, and salvation. Brash and daring, this coming-of-age story features a character you will never forget—bright, tragic, and encircled by chaotic energy, driven by a wild heart.
