Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies by Michael Ausiello
5.0

With a title like this you probably know that at some point you will have tears. A BEAUTIFUL story about the relationship Michael and Kit shared spanning 13 years, the last 11 months of which they dealt with a rare and aggressive cancer prognosis. Their relationship is so tender and you can feel the love the two shared as Ausiello recounts various escapades they faced while navigating the world together. Close to the year he was given, Kit succumbed to his illness leaving Michael to continue without him. I am blissfully unaware of Ausiello’s professional accomplishments but this story was a joy to read and he has overcome so much in his personal life after losing both of his parents. Despite the heartbreak the story was lovely with laugh out loud moments and humor sprinkled throughout. A relationship to aspire towards forsure. (Sidetone, I did not find nearly as many four letter words as the title would’ve suggested?)
