A raw, moving, and genre-defying novel. In this heart wrenching tale of identity, family, and first love, Sutanto explores what it means to come into your own, at any age.
ABOUT NEXT TIME WILL BE OUR TURN:
Izzy Chen considers herself the black sheep of her Chinese Indonesian family, and she is absolutely dreading their lavish Lunar New Year gathering.
But when her elegant grandmother, Magnolia Chen, walks into the restaurant with a beautiful woman on her arm and kisses her in front of everyone, it sends shockwaves through the family—especially for Izzy, who harbors feelings like the ones her grandmother just publicly displayed.
Magnolia sees herself in her teenage granddaughter’s struggles with identity and acceptance, and so later that night, she shares with Izzy the hidden story of her own forbidden first love: a woman she met in the 1990s Los Angeles, who changed her life forever.
Spanning decades and continents—from Jakarta to California—NEXT TIME WILL BE OUR TURN is a luminous, time-swept novel about queerness, overcoming cultural expectations, the power of telling your truth—and how love can echo across generations.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Known for hilarious, high-stakes mysteries, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, and unforgettable characters, Sutanto has become a beloved, fan-favorite novelist.
Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers won the 2024 Edgar Award for Best Original Paperback and was optioned by Warner Bros. with Oprah and Mindy Kaling’s companies set to produce.
Dial A for Aunties was a breakout hit, and Sutanto’s suspense novel I’m Not Done With You Yet is being turned into a series, in development with Elizabeth Banks’s production company.
Now, Sutanto brings her signature heart and humor to a poignant new genre: a multigenerational queer love story that stretches across decades, cultures, and continents.
