About Solo Stan by Talia Tucker

In Talia Tucker’s debut YA rom-com, Solo Stan, two teens who arrive solo to a concert find themselves thrust together when a blackout changes everything. What begins as a chance encounter transforms into a one-night adventure through Raleigh, North Carolina, where grief, friendship, music, and new love collide. This tender queer romance brims with humor, honesty, and heart.

Perfect for fans of one-night romances like Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, this novel explores how one summer night can redefine everything you thought you knew about yourself—and what it means to belong.
