Never Kiss With Your Eyes Closed

By Darian George

"There's a mix of humor, drama, and mind-boggling decisions, making it a true page-turner. These are stories we can see ourselves in, and they'll make us reflect on our own decision-making, which is exactly the point."

-Davarion Jarvelle

"Great read. I was impressed with the intention to detail and depth. Usually when I see one of these books I'm like here we go again but not this one."

Mario "Canon" Taylor

Love, laughter, heartbreak, and hard lessons-Never Kiss With Your Eyes Closed is a collection of short stories that explore the unpredictable journey of relationships and self-discovery. Told from the perspective of an African American man reflecting on his past encounters, these stories capture the awkward, hilarious, and sometimes painful moments that shape who we become in love and life.

From first crushes and missed opportunities to toxic cycles and unexpected connections, each story provides a raw, unfiltered look at modern dating, friendships, and situationships.

Whether you've been ghosted, stuck in the friend zone, or caught between love and lust, Never Kiss With Your Eyes Closed reminds us all that love is never as simple as we hope-but always worth the ride.
