Summary

Kai, a virgin, has been in love with his best friend Toby since he was fifteen, carrying the weight of unrequited feelings for years. In a desperate attempt to get Toby to notice him in a different light, Kai flirts with and kisses Franklin, a guy he just met, hoping to spark jealousy. But when his plan fails and Toby seems unfazed, Kai is left heartbroken and questioning everything.
A few days later, in a moment of weakness, Kai goes along with Franklin's suggestion to try bondage. He changes his mind before anything happens but, unfortunately for him, everything blows up in his face when he's left naked, alone, cold, and handcuffed to a bed. As Kai struggles to cope, Toby walks in unexpectedly. Will Toby rescue him from this awkward situation, or is finding his best friend naked and bound too much to handle? 
When Kai is set free, his troubles are far from over. He's left not only with the lingering threat of the man who left him handcuffed, but also with the task of uncovering the truths buried around him. Kai thought being handcuffed to the bed was the worst of it, but as he's about to find out, that is only the beginning.

Although Tarin's long-term relationship ended recently, he still decides to go on the long-planned camping trip with his ex. Since the relationship had been comfortable but nothing earthshaking, they both enjoyed camping, and they'd moved back to just friends easily enough, there was no reason not to.
But when he wakes up after an argument about sharing a bed, he finds his ex gone -- with the car -- leaving him miles from the nearest bus route back to Auckland and only his two feet to get him there. Despite detailed instructions from his hostess, Tarin gets lost on the unsigned, unpaved roads. 
With the approaching night shrouded in a thick, creepy mist, Tarin can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon a nameless hamlet. But are the friendly, gorgeous men who live there his saviours or his downfall?

A poignant, hilarious, and inspiring memoir from the first Latino and gay Presidential Inaugural Poet, which explores his coming-of-age as the child of Cuban immigrants and his attempts to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning artistic and sexual identities. 
 
 
 
Richard Blanco's childhood and adolescence were experienced between two imaginary worlds: his parents' nostalgic world of 1950s Cuba and his imagined America, the country he saw on reruns of The Brady Bunch and Leave it to Beaver—an "exotic" life he yearned for as much as he yearned to see "la patria." 
 
 
 
A prismatic and lyrical narrative rich with the colors, sounds, smells, and textures of Miami, Richard Blanco's personal narrative is a resonant account of how he discovered his authentic self and ultimately, a deeper understanding of what it means to be American. His is a singular yet universal story that beautifully illuminates the experience of "becoming"; how we are shaped by experiences, memories, and our complex stories: the humor, love, yearning, and tenderness that define a life.
