The Impossible Boy

De: Anna Martin

Narrado por: Dan Calley

This is not your average love story.

Ben Easton is not your average romantic hero. He’s a tattooed, badass guitarist in a band, working in a perfectly horrible dive bar in Camden Town. His life is good, and he’s totally unprepared for how one man will turn it upside down.

Stan isn’t your average heroine. As a gender-fluid man, he proudly wears his blond hair long, his heels sky-high, and his makeup perfectly executed. A fashion industry prodigy, Stan is in London after stints working in Italy and New York City, and he quickly falls for Ben’s devil-may-care attitude and the warm, soft heart Ben hides behind it. Beneath the perfect, elegant exterior, Stan has plenty of scars from teenage battles with anorexia. And it only takes the slightest slip for his demons to rush back in while Ben is away touring with his band, Ares.

With Ares on the brink of a breakthrough, Ben is forced to find a way to balance the opportunity of a lifetime with caring for his beautiful, impossible boyfriend.

Sigh Ben and Stan...Sexy, compelling and complex

Fantastic book! Oh what a emotional love story is that of Ben and Stan and what a perfect collaboration between Dan Calley and Anna Martin! I love Dan Calley's interpretation of these rich characters! Heartwrenching and heartwarming, tackling difficult subjects with intelligence and sensitivity. And I was overjoyed to find out that there was another book continuing their story ( The Lost Boy) with even more depth and emotion that will leave you achingly satisified and sorry to leave theses characters behind. I truly understand the term book hangover of the very best kind!

Loved!

Beautiful Stan and gorgeous Ben. A match made in heaven. A brilliant story told by an amazing narrator.

The Rocker and the Fashionista

Stan is an enigma. His blond hair is long. He wears dresses and high heels. He knows how to apply makeup like a professional. He works in the fashion industry but not as a model, despite the fact he could. When he meets Ben in a bar, they click. Ben plays in the band Ares and they are on the verge of breaking out. Stan originally hailed from Russia and is in London via New York and Italy. Ben is a Kiwi who came with his family when he was younger and has stayed, making the vibrant but expensive city his home. His mother has remarried and he has three much younger siblings. His bandmates are his found family.

In some ways this is a predictable romance and in others not so much. Stan’s battle with anorexia was painful, as was Ben’s need to feel connected. Their worlds collide when Ben goes on tour with the band and Stan is left behind. That whole section of the book nearly broke my heart. I could see how Stan was the impossible boy. But they find a way to make it work, and I got my happy ending.

Dan Calley narrates this series and I was thrilled. He did a great job bringing the characters to life. I enjoyed his performance and can’t wait for the next book.

Stan🥰

This was one of the few books that depicted a genderfluid male so authentically.

This book was everything ❤️

I loved the storyline and the storyline were given depth and were well fleshed out.

The narration was enjoyable, smooth and entertaining.

Definitely recommend this one
