Isaac opens up about being bisexual and Native American/Mexican American, coming out at 17 (with a notes-app confession to his brother), navigating hookup culture and dating apps as a busy EMT in pre-med, and why he included promiscuity, grief, and found family in his fiction. He also previews his next book, a family reconciliation story centered on grief and brotherhood. Plus: the very real panic attack in Prospect Park that shaped the book's emotional core.
