Blurb:
From USA Today bestselling author K Webster comes a gay interracial romance called No Tears with Him!
It's 1999, and while being gay isn't unheard of these days, it's something my family absolutely will not understand. If they ever find out, there'll be hell to pay. But, because I'm shy, awkward, and weird, I haven't been forced to explain my sexuality to them. Guys don't exactly beat down my door to date me.
My self-confidence is severely lacking.
I exist in my brother's glorious ex-NFL shadow and Mom treats me like a child rather than the man I am.
I'm jobless, still live at home, and single.
A real catch.
None of that matters when I'm offered the career of my dreams. A handsome and charismatic guy who actually sees the value deep inside me. Each day, he teaches me how to be bolder, braver, and to take what I want out of life. He's attractive, and for some crazy reason, he likes me too.
He makes me feel worthy.
I've never been cherished and adored by anyone.
I know what I want out of life...him.
There are no tears with him.
Just happiness and joy and love.
But, like the Y2K bug that threatens the world as I know it, time is running out. I'll soon be forced to face my biggest fears and reveal the true me to my family.
I just hope I can survive it.
No Tears with Him will be available exclusively on Eden Books for a limited time. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. For more information about the NAACPLDF, please visit their website at https://www.naacpldf.org/.

My Thoughts and Review:
There is no one perfect word to describe this book. These characters will capture your heart. This book will take you back to 1999.
The first thing that really sticks with me is just how well the writing of this book takes you to 1999. I felt like I was back in my senior year of high school (class of 2000). From the music mentioned, to Malcolm's Mountain Dew obsession, I have never had a book take me back in time as well as this one did.
Next is the characters. I could really relate to Malcolm, even though I am a heterosexual female. The way he didn't feel like he really knew himself, awkward in public. He was just so relatable. Scott was a character that is so easy to love. He sees the good in people, and tries to help them become even better. Even the secondary characters captured my heart. I loved the way Madden went from being one I disliked to being one I was so proud of.
This book will warm your soul, while bringing to light the issues the LGBTQ community has dealt with in the past. It shows how far they have come.
