Don't Drag This Out

By Emery Lee

Thomas Mori is running away. A new job, a new drag persona, and a new community means he can hopefully leave the scars of his past behind him and work on curating a face he can stand seeing in the mirror.

​

Brian Ramirez is searching for love. After a long line of relationships gone sour, a summer in New York with his girlfriend, Anna, feels like the perfect opportunity to build the sort of white picket fence life he's always dreamed of.

​

So when a bad breakup and a few too many drinks leads to Brian stumbling awkwardly into Thomas's drag show, the magic of New York presents an exciting opportunity. For Brian, the chance to reshape his perspective on love, and for Thomas, the chance to discover what he really wants, no strings attached. But as reality--and real feelings--start to get in the way, they'll have to decide if their feelings for each other can overcome the fear and pain of putting their hearts into the wrong hands again.

​

Told through the alternating perspectives of Brian Ramirez (Meet Cute Diary) and Thomas Mori (Caf Con Lychee), Don't Drag This Out is a New Adult romcom exploring queer community, identity, and redefining love and relationships as a queer twenty-something.
