Frat Boy - Paperback

by David Alejandro (Author)

Frat Boy is a gripping coming of conscience novel about power, loyalty, and the cost of staying silent.

Jared Jimenez is exactly who he needs to be to survive college, charismatic, confident, vice president of his fraternity, and always the life of the party. As a first-generation Latino student who grew up watching his mother struggle, Jared believes status is security. Brotherhood is protection. And emotions? Optional.

Then he meets Monica Rodriguez.

Brilliant, politically fearless, and unafraid to challenge power, Monica disrupts everything Jared has built. When she pulls him into a campus protest defending cultural studies, Jared witnesses how quickly authority can turn violent, and how fragile his sense of safety really is.

But the real shift comes later.

As their connection deepens, a secret surfaces, one that ties Monica to Jared's fraternity in a way he never saw coming. Suddenly, loyalty feels dangerous. Brotherhood feels conditional. And the system that once protected him begins to look very different from the inside.

What follows forces Jared to confront a question he's never had to ask before:

When the truth lives in your own house... what are you willing to risk to face it?
