"Kiss & Tell is a total rush! Perfectly sweet and swoon worthy. I loved every page!" – Julie Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’ A smart, sexy YA novel about a boy band star, his first breakup, his first rebound, and what it means to be queer in the public eye, from award-winning author Adib Khorram Hunter never expected to be a boy band star, but, well, here he is. He and his band Kiss & Tell are on their first major tour of North America, playing arenas all over the United States and Canada (and getting covered by the gossipy press all over North America as well). Hunter is the only gay member of the band, and he just had a very painful breakup with his first boyfriend--leaked sexts, public heartbreak, and all--and now everyone expects him to play the perfect queer role model for teens. But Hunter isn't really sure what being the perfect queer kid even means. Does it mean dressing up in whatever The Label tells him to wear for photo shoots and pretending never to have sex? (Unfortunately, yes.) Does it mean finding community among the queer kids at the meet-and-greets after K&T's shows? (Fortunately, yes.) Does it include a new relationship with Kaivan, the drummer for the band opening for K&T on tour? (He hopes so.) But when The Label finds out about Hunter and Kaivan, it spells trouble—for their relationship, for the perfect gay boy Hunter plays for the cameras, and, most importantly, for Hunter himself.

Book Description
Learning the details of others' sex lives is the most enticing of guilty pleasures. We measure our own practices against the "normalcy" that sex surveys seek to capture. Special interest groups use or attack survey findings (such as the claim that 10% of Americans are gay) for their own ends. Indeed, we all have some stake in these surveys, be it self-justification, recrimination, or curiosity--and this testifies to their significance in our culture. Kiss and Tell chronicles the history of sex surveys in the United States over a century of changing social and sexual mores. Julia Ericksen and Sally Steffen reveal that the survey questions asked, more than the answers elicited, expose and shape the popular image of appropriate sexuality. We can learn as much about the history and practice of sexuality by looking at surveyors' changing concerns as we can by reading the results of their surveys. The authors show how surveys have reflected societal anxieties about adolescent development, teen sex and promiscuity, and AIDS, and have been employed in efforts to preserve marriage and to control women's sexuality. Kiss and Tell is an important examination of the role of social science in shaping American sexual patterns. Revealing how surveys of sexual behavior help create the issues they purport merely to describe, it reminds us how malleable and imperfect our knowledge of sexual behavior is.

Congratulations on proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the first book KISS & TELL was not a bunch of made up lies. I thoroughly enjoyed the additional chapters especially the ones written by Joe Renda, and Frank D'Amico! The controversial documents included reveals not only inside info on KISS, but shows how deranged and delusional alot of the fans really are. Loved reading it.... What's next

Book Description
"Wouldn't most guys love a little no strings attached hook up? "Maybe, but most guys don't deserve you. I want to be one who does. And I want to be all tangled up in your strings." Newly arrived on campus, I knew two things. 1) No one could know my dad was the president of the university and 2) football players were bad news. My run in, the literal kind with my neighbor cranked up the heat and sparks flew. A new college campus. A secret bound to explode in my face. And a football player neighbor who is bad news in the best of ways. Reid Riddick was hotness personified, so of course I literally ran into with him--well, more like he plowed into me. I didn't know he was a football player when I started falling and now I can't stop. A stolen kiss later and my heart races whenever he looks at me from across the quad. But my secret would spell disaster for him. I'm the daughter of the college president. The college president who's been feuding with his football coach for years. Their bitter campus war leaves us teetering on the edges of a divide we can't see a way across. Resisting him is more than I can handle. He's risking it all for me. His team standing. His football season. His pro future. Throw in a campus gossip site. My out of control new friends. His way too hot roommates. College traditions. A secret campus bar and the only guy who's ever made me feel like he can't live without me. And I have one last secret. Our star-crossed love is my first and I want him to be mine.

Book Description
This is a book about where to find them, when to keep them, why to break it off and how to lose them. It’s a book that tackles such important questions as: How do you read between the lines to discern what’s true and what’s not? Should you fake orgasm? Is it okay to break up via voice mail? What if your kids don’t like him? And what should you write in your on-line ad? We fervently believe this book will enable all single women to learn what we’ve learned, laugh along with us at our mistakes and thus have an easier time charting those uncharted waters on their way to new relationships. Mothers and daughters compare notes on all sorts of things, but few get to compare notes on the dating scene, let alone write a mother-daughter dating book together. We didn’t plan things this way. I suddenly found myself widowed after 19 years of marriage and my daughter, Andi, became a divorcee after ten years of marriage. We both re-emerged as singles at times in our lives when we least expected to do so. We discovered over the years—as we compared notes, soothed each other’s egos, offered encouragement, and giggled uproariously over some of the funnier anecdotes our dating experiences have yielded—that commiseration was a learning and healing experience and– most important of all—great fun. We decided to broaden the circle and interview our friends—two very different generations of dating women–and we found we had all reached many similar conclusions, namely that there are few problems that can’t be rectified, that women are too hard on themselves in dealing with men, and that it’s far better to laugh than to take these things too seriously. Kiss and Tell: Tales by a Mother and Daughter is filled with our stories and newfound wisdom. We look at how children fit into the dating picture for younger women. Is it possible to find a man who not only loves you but also adores your children? And we look at the discomfort older women might feel about suddenly dating again after forty plus years of marriage. Invaluable dos and don’ts of dating are included throughout the book
