About this listen

After years of drowning myself in parties, hookups, and pain, all it takes is one viral sex tape to be given a choice: Hide out on an island or lose my trust fund.

Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I’m the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself.

This island was supposed to be a place I could rest, but instead, I’m running. From Asher Vaughn. From myself. From the scars on my heart that never healed.

It hurts to look at him and see all the things we never got to have.

How can I keep him at arm's length when he watches me the way he used to? When he touches me? When he calls me his?

We can’t be together, not off this island. The straight football star and the gay femme son of famous parents. The media would rip us apart and ruin his career.

I barely survived the last time he left me. Can I survive being deserted again?

Broken is a brother’s best friend, mm romance with some praise kink, and a broken boy in desperate need of love.

This book covered a very heavy matter which actually had me crying a few times. But the ending had me cry laughing.

This book was definitely a tear jerker. They dove right into the heavy stuff. Trigger warning for self harm. And death. But definitely a good listen. I love the narrators.

Wow. Just wow

Ok that wasn’t fair. Within the first 3 chapters I was practically sobbing. Could have used a warning!
Most emotional book ever.
Loved how the narrators were able to find different voices for all the characters and the emotion in their performances was so intense! Brought to tears over and over. I appreciated the representation and care taken to depict different members of the queer community as well as the struggles of mental health. Well done ❤️

Wow. What a ride!

I like a darker book, but this didn't quite work.

I was invested in the relationship but as soon as the spicy times happened, that was ALL they had in common. there wasn't much of a love connection, so I was no longer invested in the frustrating constant back and forth of "I want you but I can't have you"

the end was particularly disappointing. it was like once they figured out their relationship, all of their problems were fixed. I know it's fiction and it doesn't need to be fully realistic but jeez. tadaaaa, no more problems!!! sure ...

one other big gripe I have is: Elliot wears feminine clothing...which would be fine if it was ever brought up except as a prop for spicy times. he barely talked about it, or his identity. Asher never really referenced it except in bed. very gross.
