Xochitl Gonzalez owes her college roommate $20.

Virtual Book Tour

We are so excited to sit down with Xochitl Gonzalez to discuss her newest book Anita de Monte Laughs Last! We discussed why this book feels more personal to her than her debut, how our view of relationships change as we grow older, and why she owes her college roommate $20.

Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in NYC; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn’t. By 1998, Anita’s name has been all but forgotten, certainly by the time Raquel, a third-year art history student, is preparing for her final thesis. But when Raquel finds herself rising up the social ranks, she stumbles upon Anita’s story, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship.
