When indie musician Mike Maimone meets legendary publicist Howard Bragman, neither expects a once-in-a-lifetime love story to unfold. Despite their perceived differences, they quickly build a shared life based on music, humor, hard-won wisdom, and the unexpected tenderness that comes from finding your forever person just when you'd given up looking.
But when Howard is diagnosed with cancer on the eve of Mike's proposal, the life they had been envisioning together changes overnight. What follows is both devastating and luminous-a final chapter marked by brutal honesty, fierce devotion, and moments of grace that arrive exactly when they're needed most.
Guess What? I Love You is the memoir and soundtrack to the great love of Mike Maimone's life. As he channels his grief into words and music-guided by beautiful and inexplicable synchronicities-readers and listeners witness a transformation from heartbreak toward healing.
The result is both a portrait of devotion and a testament to resilience: a deeply intimate yet universal story celebrating love's power to endure.
The companion album, also titled Guess What? I Love You, is available on streaming platforms and at mikemaimone.com on vinyl, CD, and digital download.
