About the Book

In the mist-veiled forests of the Pacific Northwest, Kodak Palin arrives hoping to disappear-into the trees, into his writing, into a version of himself not shaped by pain. He's left the weight of his Southern past behind, trading trauma for the promise of a prestigious fellowship in the coastal town of Alnwick, Oregon. What he doesn't expect is Quinn Condor: elusive, guarded, magnetic-and the heir to the family that sponsors Kodak's new beginning. As their bond deepens, Kodak is forced to confront the ache of belonging and the complexity of being biracial in spaces built to erase nuance. Just as he begins to believe in the possibility of healing, disaster strikes. A massive earthquake and tsunami fracture the coast-and everything Kodak has rebuilt is ripped from him. In the aftermath, survival is no longer metaphor. Kodak must journey through wreckage both literal and emotional, desperate to find the one person who taught him that love could be real. Told in lyrical, unflinching prose, I'm The Same is a haunting, intimate portrait of identity, memory, and the invisible wars we wage to stay alive. A debut of quiet power and disarming honesty, James Ungurait's novel refuses easy resolution-and leaves you changed.

About the Author :

Review :
"Ungurait's emotive story revolves around relationships and their unique dynamics, offering a thoughtful exploration of friendship, love, and self-forgiveness. Written in vivid, descriptive prose, I'm the Same transports readers directly into the heart of its protagonist's journey. Through vulnerable storytelling and striking imagery, Ungurait reveals a deeply human portrait of healing, identity, and survival. Kodak's search for belonging amid loss and trauma stands as a reminder that some wounds never fully heal-and that connection, in all its forms, remains a fundamental human need." - The BookLife Prize "Thoughtfully written... an emotional journey that keeps readers guessing until the final page." - IndieReader Discovery Awards "An emotionally rich exploration of identity and place." - Independent Book Review "I'm The Same is a work of fiction in the literary, coming-of-age, and LGBTQ+ romance subgenres. The work is best suited to the general adult reading audience. Penned by author James Ungurait, this poignant novel takes readers along on Kodak's journey as he leaves behind his Southern past for an Oregon writing fellowship. There, he meets Quinn, sparking a connection overshadowed by Kodak's biracial struggles. Amidst personal turmoil, a devastating earthquake strikes, separating the two. As Kodak races to rescue Quinn during a tsunami, their love is tested against nature's fury and human frailty. Author James Ungurait has crafted a deeply moving experience that explores themes of identity, love, and resilience in a compelling, raw, and often tender narrative. Set against the backdrop of Oregon's lush forests and amidst the chaos of a natural disaster, Kodak's journey of self-discovery is chock full of atmospheric language and visceral descriptions that hit home hard. Like much of literary fiction, the work is deeply reliant on its central character and the experiences and reflections life brings them. Ungurait excels in making every moment count and utilizing Kodak's dialogue and thoughts to endear him to us more and more. The exploration of biracial identity and the challenges faced by Kodak are eye-opening, resonant, and authentically penned, making the novel both relatable and thought-provoking with its unique perspective on life. As the characters navigate love and loss amidst the chaos, Ungurait's storytelling captivates, leaving a lasting impression on readers. Overall, I'm The Same is a powerful portrayal of the strength found in love and the journey toward self-acceptance, making it a poignant and unforgettable story that I would not hesitate to recommend." - K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite
