Story
Arthur is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. Ben thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.

When Andrew stumbles upon Jamie’s house, he’s injured, starved, and has nothing left to lose. A deadly pathogen has killed off most of the world’s population, including everyone both boys have ever loved. And if this new world has taught them anything, it’s to be scared of what other desperate people will do . . . so why does it seem so easy for them to trust each other? After danger breaches their shelter, they flee south in search of civilization. But something isn’t adding up about Andrew’s story, and it could cost them everything.

Feeling nostalgic on the eve of his birthday, he sends emails to all the boys he (ahem) loved before he came out. Morning brings the inevitable Oh God What Did I Do?, but he brushes that panic aside. Why stress about it? None of his could-have-beens are actually going to read the emails, much less respond. Right? Enter Derick Haverford, Wren's #1 pre-coming-out-crush and his drive-in theater's new social-media intern.

Story
I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long. The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation. The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done.

It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

If only he didn’t have to deal with Clay Parker, the infuriatingly smug data analyst who gets under Thom’s skin like it’s his job. In the midst of one of their heated and very public arguments, a journalist snaps a photo, but the image makes it look like they’re kissing. As if that weren’t already worst-nightmare territory, the photo goes viral—and in a bid to secure the liberal vote, the governor asks them to lean into it. Hard.

Really Fun
- By loic alexandre on 2023-08-23
Written by: Liz Bowery
Publisher's Summary
From the award-winning author of Openly Straight, a story about two teens falling in love over a summer that throws everything possible to keep them apart.
Max: Chill. Sports. Video games. Gay and not a big deal, not to him, not to his mom, not to his buddies. And a secret: An encounter with an older kid that makes it hard to breathe, one that he doesn't want to think about, ever.
Jordan: The opposite of chill. Poetry. His "wives" and the Chandler Mall. Never been kissed and searching for Mr. Right, who probably won't like him anyway. And a secret: A spiraling out of control mother, and the knowledge that he's the only one who can keep the family from falling apart.
Throw in a rickety, 1980s-era food truck called Coq Au Vinny. Add in prickly pears, cloud eggs, and a murky idea of what's considered locally sourced and organic. Place it all in Mesa, Arizona, in June, where the temp regularly hits 114. And top it off with a touch of undeniable chemistry between utter opposites.
Over the course of one summer, two boys will have to face their biggest fears and decide what they're willing to risk - to get the thing they want the most.
What the critics say
"Through the empathetic performances of two narrators, we meet gay Arizona high schoolers Jordan and Max, and their families and friends.... Froomkin and Perez's heartfelt portrayals ensure that listeners are in sync with the characters as they deal with everything from a traumatic sexual encounter and mental health issues to toxic masculinity and figuring out how to be true to oneself."

Interesting contemporary narrative
The narration is great. The author did an amazing job narrating the contemporary life in the 'community'.

Cute but expected
One of the voice actors made all the other character sound like they had an IQ of 10 when speaking but overall the performance and content is quality. Kinda a typical gay YA story……but ITS CUTE, kinda heart breaking easy listening with some great quotable moments

Not for me
There's a lot of pretentious comments and problematic things that go on that are either not addressed at all or addressed to late and what should have been talked about was not and things that were pointless were over written.
It felt like the novel was trying to talk about something meaningful but it missed the mark completely.

Get a physical copy.
In regards to the story it's self, it's not the best, not the worst. there are many genuinely cute moments, but all of them are over shadowed by some really strange characterization. Jordan goes from calm to manic to calm within sentences, Max feels like a completely different character from Jordans perspective compared to his own, the list goes on.
In regard to the voice acting, it needs a massive overhaul. Anthony Ray Perez plays an excellent Max. I thoroughly believe that any flaws in his performance were probably a directors choice, not his own. Joel Froomkin is terrible. His microphone is constantly too loud (and even peaks at times) and I actually had to turn down my volume for some of his chapters. Though I will admit that he does capture the mess that is Jordans character.
TLDR: The audiobook isn't worth it, but a physical copy is if you can look past some of the bad writing choices.

Be warned - Narrator is distracting.
LOVED the story, so let’s put out there straight way. Anthony Ray Perez did an excellent job of narration. Joel Froomkin; not so much. I found the latter’s reading to be so mismatched to the character - sounding about 20 years too old to be a teenager, especially the god-awful attempt at a Latino accent when quoting Max that it’s borderline offensive. It’s almost as if the two narrators didn’t even meet each other to discuss how best to work this out. The audio for Jordan’s part is off too and you’ll find yourself turning it up and down as you flip between the chapters as Joel Froomkin spent his half of the reading screaming into the microphone. If you can get over the “Jordan” readings, the story is a very potent piece of YA fiction that addresses very serious questions of assault, consent, race, masculinity and queerness in today’s society.

This book will stay with me
I picked this book on a whim and am so glad I did. What I thought might be a light romance turned into a thought provoking story that had so much more depth to it.
Moved me to tears a couple of times and made me smile big at other times while in my car listening.
Quite beautifully written with a lovely pace to it. I like that it wasn't "all tied up with a bow" in the end which leaves me to imagine what the future holds for the two main characters.

This book was amazing. It resonated with me on so many levels. I cannot even explain, but it is truly heartbreaking, heart wrenching and beautifully glorious in every way.
The audible narrators were beyond perfect for telling this story. They could not have been more perfectly casted.

Enjoyable, but...
I'll start by saying, if you've listened to "Openly straight and Honestly Ben", you wont get the same character and plot development. Both of those books were amazing. That being said, if you enjoy the author's writing style, you'll also enjoy this book. Overall, the characters were pretty thin with exception of the two leads. The friends of both the boys, were just accessories. It's enough for you to identify with and get their purpose, but you won't go away with fond memories like in the other books.
In some ways this could have just been a story about the two guys over a weekend getting to know one another. The other characters didn't really add much. What I did enjoy was the examination of something else in the gay community that probably doesn't get the attention that it needs (spoilers) so I won't say much more.
Lastly, the "Jordan" narrartor was THE WORST. I almost cringed everytime I heard his voice. I couldn't wait to flip back to Max. The narrartor for Max while 10 times better, he wasn't perfect but played a teenage jock boy enough where I could imagine vidvidly what he would be like if he were real
The book was satisyfing, and was a nice distraction from my normal listens. Accept this for what it is and you'll enjoy too.

Entertaing read!
Bill is so good at character development. I was a little sad when it ended because I wanted more of them. The readers also did a good job of adding to the uniqueness of the characters and added to how the listener experiences the story. It was a cute and touching story which facilitates an interesting conversation about the dynamics of sexual consent.

Great story; HORRIBLE narrator (Froomkin)
I absolutely loved the story, and I absolutely despised Joel Froomkin’s narration. Read the book otherwise expect that horrible voice to interfere with the enjoyment of the story. Anthony did an awesome job, however.

The recording sounds like a overloaded stereo! I couldn’t stand listening to it! I had to stop!

Every time I see I food truck...
I really liked this book. I loved that even though the author discusses themes like coming of age, sexual preferences, class, race, mental illness and family disfunction the book never feels heavy or hopeless. I actually laughed out loud several times and the dialogue between the characters always felt real. The only problem is that every time I see a food truck now I make a love story in my mind about the people working there and I can’t help but smile like an idiot

Joel Froomkin needs to stop doing LGB YA.
Original feeling story, nice pacing, great main Characters, good humor, lots of small details that makes it just feel real. BUT, the narration was difficult to get through. Joel sounds like he's talking with a wad of toilet paper stuffed in his cheeks. it's the worst, and it's not just this book, he's ruined many others as well. Anthony's audio quality could have been better, very low quality recording, but his work is way better. Sucks when good stories are ruined by people who continually get the job to record the voice because they've won awards for narration likely just because of equity instead of talent.

The voices are not bad
I don't understand why everybody is down on the reader for Jordan. He sounds exactly like an anxious teenage boy, which is super accurate to the story. I actually really loved how the boy voiced each other. It really highlights the differences in what we think, what we say, and what is heard by others. A really interesting perspective that is not often tackled in writing. The only issue I had was the leveling between the 2 readers always had to turn up the volume for Max which left Jordan yelling in my ear.

Great story
I don't usually write reviews, but this book was so great, that i couldn't help it. This book deals with all kinds of serious issues while, also, being laugh out loud funny. This was one of the sweetest love stories I've come across lately.
