Description
Whether they’re trembling before an invasive squirrel, giving the straight dope to an errant call-girl or enduring a #MeToo moment with a handsy waiter on their Roman honeymoon, Kyle and Julius are just the kind of gay married couple who didn’t see the 2016 election coming.
In this variegated book of vignettes, flash scenes and personal essays, award-winning author Kyle Thomas Smith documents the peculiarities of life in his home, his borough, his chiropractor’s office and these times.

Featured Reviews
Jeff L, Reviewer
It's not often that I find a book that makes me laugh and chuckle out loud. Not only is Kyle Smith's writing humorous and insightful but I connected in a very real way to his words and experiences. To paraphrase, "Life is the real masterpiece" and these vignettes from Kyle and Julius' marriage show how truly wonderful 'ordinary' really is in the scope of what has the power to touch us the most.
One of the things I liked most was how Smith relays the communication between he and his husband-- revealing things that go much deeper than the words of the situation he describes. Smith exposes the deep love and understanding the two have for one another, simply through the daily discourse of their lives. Sharing his unique perspective, Smith reinforces the fact that we all have a story to tell. The art and poetry is in the telling.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
