Publisher's Summary

No job, no money, no love - and to make things worse, 27-year-old Charlie has no choice but to leave New York City and move in with his mom in his isolated and conservative hometown of Sunset Springs.

Home isn’t a comfortable place for Charlie. One of very few Black residents and the only trans person around town that he knows of, this will be Charlie’s first time back in Sunset Springs since he transitioned. He expects confusion and maybe even hostility. He definitely does not expect Jackson Ford.

Jack was the brooding yet beloved football star at their high school, but now, he’s an outsider after coming out as gay. When Charlie and Jackson fall for each other in a swift and surprising romance, Charlie has to decide if he’s willing to exchange his old dreams for a new one.

Sunset Springs is an audio novella about finding courage to allow unexpected change, even at the risk of a broken heart.

Nice to see trans rep

It's nice to see positive trans representation that talks about issues in a sensitive way. This was a sweet little story about people getting over their insecurities to connect. The subject matter (time of crisis for protagonists and having to go back to a conservative town) could easily have made this story depressing but it didn't.

Enjoyable

It could have been a full novel, but it was well done as a novella. Characters had depth, back story and chemistry. It even covered meaningful subject matter really well in the 2ish hours of the story.
