It could’ve gotten old, but somehow it didn’t. In that short sixty-second burst, I captured all of the quintessential Kits: There was Heartfelt Kit, who could make me feel like the most special person on the planet with just a simple look Cunty Kit, who could simultaneously embrace and throw shade at the Jersey Shore Oddball Artist Kit, who could bring the same level of passion to a photo project involving a plastic bubble wand and some glycerin as he would to one showcasing a $40K Eames rocking chair and Slightly Terrifying Kit, who could send a shiver down your spine with just a few words and a minor tonal shift.” (173)Īnd I really appreciated that Mike wrote about his own vulnerabilities. “If I’d taken on other video that entire weekend. It’s just so wonderfully written you’re physically moved to where they are and your actually watching the video, with all of Mike’s thoughts narrated with you. There’s one scene where Mike breaks Kit’s rule about cancer videos and films and the way he describes what’s happening in the video and how it personifies everything about Kit. The most touching parts of the book, as you might expect, where when Mike was reminiscing/observing Kit in the last year of his life. It felt good to love someone so much that literally nothing was as important as making sure that person was safe and comfortable and protected.” (132) “It felt good to fight for something without worrying about my emotions getting the best of me or how I’d be perceived or what the possible blowback would be. There is without a doubt that Mike and Kit loved each other and worked very hard to overcome their differences to stay together over the 13 years they had together. From their first meeting to Mike’s final goodbye, there is humor (often times dark), anger and jealousy, friendship, and, most of all, love. Part memoir, part touching memorial, Spoiler Alert covers a lot of ground through the lens of Mike and Kit’s 13ish year relationship. I got a chapter or two read on the plane after reading Don’t Be Cruel (#3 & #4) and then blazed through this, snot, tears and all, while laying out by the pool on the ship. Smart right? The timing wasn’t the greatest, but it came in at the library and I’ve been waiting to read it since it appeared on Towleroad, so I figured I would plow through it and I did. I read it in public, on a cruise ship on the way to the Caribbean. I didn’t hole in up in my room or stay at home to read this, even with the very clear warning on the cover. I’m talking snot running down my face, holding back sobs, and generally making people uncomfortable around me as I read it.

I’m not talking about a single tear escaping as I gaze wistfully into the distance. Talk about a gut punch-I knew going in this one was going to be brutal, I mean it’s right there in the full title: Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies, but I was not expecting to cry as much as I did.
