Spoiler alert the hero dies, a memoir of love, loss,… por Michael Ausiello
Read by the author this joyous, painful, and cathartic (for me) love story captures a loving and sometimes difficult 13-year relationship.
This was heartbreaking and beautiful.
I felt that the strength of the memoir came from Ausiello's willingness to not shy away from the good, the bad and the ugly. This was a flawed relationships with two flawed individuals, and he showed that. He didn't leave out all the messy parts, and it allowed for us to immerse ourselves into the pain, and anger, and suffering he was feeling while dealing with his husbands cancer battle.
The strength it must take to hold onto humor and hope shows through here, and it's all the more heartbreaking and powerful for it. By the end of the memoir I was both crying uncontrollably and laughing out loud consistently.
This was a beautiful book, and I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it was to write, but I am so grateful he opted to share this story of himself and Kit.… (más)

Kiddboyblue | 4 reseñas más. | May 14, 2018 | Before I give my opinion on this book, can we all please take a minute to appreciate a great title. Honestly, it is what first appealed to me and I think it is brilliant!
Ok, moment over.
Have you ever read a book and thought "How the hell am I suppose to review this?" This is that book for me. There are so many emotions and thoughts going through my head, I honestly can not get them straight. Michael Ausiello wrecked me.
This is my first time even hearing of Michael and I'm actually glad for it. I was able to go into this book with no knowledge of his writing style or personality and I loved it! This brutally honest, ridiculously real account of his life with Kit amazed me. I was sucked into their life together. From the awkward first date to the devestating last breath, I felt it all. No tells you exactly what to expect when you're loved one is dying but Michael put it all out there for the world. Every. Dirty. Detail. It didn't feel like I was reading his book, it felt like I was reading his diary. The dark humor, the heartwarming way Kit and Mike were with each other, the heartbreaking battle with cancer, all of it was there. Remarkable.
My only criticism is the final chapter. I'm really not sure what to make of it, but it doesn't change my opinion of the book.
I received this ARC from Netgalley for my honest review...but I will be buying it. I will buy it for me, I will buy it for my family, I will buy it for everyone I know that has a loved one going through this fight because even though there isn't a happy ending it is important to have someone to give you a realistic outlook on what to expect.
Seriously, if you only read one book this year, make it this one!

Besides the hero dying, this book is a wonderful memoir of a relationship which was cut short by the death of one of the couple. Ausiello is a gifted writer who has you laughing and crying (sometimes at the same time) with his witty prose. Far from maudlin, it leaves the reader appreciating the loved ones in their lives.
