Dakarai (Kai) Barbier was supposed to be at CYPHR's sold- out show with his best friends. Instead, he finds himself going solo, reeling from the news that they've decided to accelerate the next chapter of their lives, leaving him alone the summer after high school graduation.

Meanwhile, Elias Davis has just been sent from New York City to North Carolina to live with his uncle after a last-straw fistfight. Stuck in a town he doesn't want to be in, and without knowing a soul his own age, he buys a single ticket to CYPHR's Raleigh show.

When a sudden blackout ends the show early, forcing these unwitting seatmates back onto the streets of Raleigh, they are faced with a choice: get on the bus and head home or take a chance on each other. They might have arrived alone, but will they be leaving together?

Praise for Solo Stan:

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

“Whether you’re a lonely hopeless romantic like Kai or a misunderstood troublemaker with a knack for self-sacrificing like Elias, these two boys will have your entire heart faster than they can steal each other’s. This book single-handedly healed my inner troubled teen who thought their love was too big for others to hold.” —Sonora Reyes, bestselling author of the National Book Award Finalist The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School

“A joyful queer rom-com that’s reminiscent of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.” —Publishers Weekly

“A wholesome whirlwind queer romance.” —Kirkus Reviews","format",{"_99":154,"_33":69,"_155":156,"_157":63},"publisher","Kokila","page_count","duration","published_date","June 10, 2025","pub_date","June 10","isbn","9780593624784","asin","0593624785","hex_code","language","English","purchase_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/4527i/3e9cf65c-9c42-4737-8c62-2fd9db44a4bd.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F4527i%2F3e9cf65c-9c42-4737-8c62-2fd9db44a4bd.jpg","user_review",2,"type","print","audio",{"_99":159,"_33":92,"_127":160,"_161":-5,"_162":-5,"_163":40,"_164":165,"_166":46},"1e014f5e-346a-4fc5-afeb-9abb7b78a18f","467-talia-tucker","biography","image","books_count","roles",[167],"in_catalog","author",116,"Gay","category","genre","gay","/genres/gay","selectable","sensitive","position","parent","isLoggedIn",["P",179],"result",{"_21":188,"_23":189,"_19":190,"_191":192,"_25":193,"_194":195,"_27":196},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_207":63,"_208":63},{"_29":30,"_31":197,"_33":188,"_198":199,"_200":201,"_25":193},"Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[202,203,204,205,206],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
