About this listen
"A beautiful tribute to every queer kid who's ever had to leave their home in order to find one." (Leah Johnson, best-selling author of You Should See Me in a Crown)
The author of The Gravity of Us crafts another heartfelt coming-of-age story about finding the people who become your home - perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli.
Marty arrives in London with nothing but his oboe and some savings from his summer job, but he's excited to start his new life - where he's no longer the closeted, shy kid who slips under the radar and is free to explore his sexuality without his parents' disapproval.
From the outside, Marty's life looks like a perfect fantasy: In the span of a few weeks, he's made new friends, he's getting closer with his first-ever boyfriend, and he's even traveling around Europe. But Marty knows he can't keep up the façade. He hasn't spoken to his parents since he arrived, he's tearing through his meager savings, his homesickness and anxiety are getting worse and worse, and he hasn't even come close to landing the job of his dreams. Will Marty be able to find a place that feels like home?

But as the days go by, he discovers there's more to Bryson beneath the surface, and dating him begins to feel less like an act and more like the real thing.

When Tessa is accepted into the creative writing program of a prestigious art school, she’s excited to finally let her stories shine. But when she goes to her first workshop, the words are just...gone. Caroline has a solution: Tessa needs to find some inspiration in a real-life love story of her own.

Your heart will hurt in the best and worst ways...
It’s painful to see anyone, let alone a teen, feel the want to belong and to simultaneously find themselves in what makes them different. This book addresses that and all the insecurities and anxiety that comes with it. You will cringe and cheer for Marty, be empathetic and frustrated, but that’s life.
I loved this story, and I think it will resonate with many of all ages and sexual orientations.

Great book! Absolutely loved it!
The narrator did a great job! There were lots of accents that he differentiated very well, and really made sure each character was distinct.
The book itself was amazing and I loved it! Marty is such a relatable character, and I just really enjoyed this book!

Wonderful book and narrator create music together
Michael Crouch is one of the best narrators I have experienced. He brings emotion and the words on the page to glorious life. Phil Stamper is a wonderful author, and after reading The Gravity of Us I was so excited to read this novel, and I wasn’t disappointed. These are the kind of books I wish I had as a young LGBT youth, i’m so glad teams have this book now. Can’t wait for another hopeful pairing between author and narrator.

A real snoozfest
Will somebody please wake me up when this audiobook is over? This title is a good insomnia cure. Connect your smartphone to a pair of under-the-pillow speakers, press play and drift into slumberland. Don’t worry that you might miss part of the story as there is no story.

Queer teen angst
I’ve been enjoying this genre of books for quite some time. It’s a nice escape as an adult who didn’t have the easiest coming out process. Most of the stories revolve around coming-of-age, coming out, some kind of internal emotional struggle, and often a suitor who may seem impossible to match up with. I appreciate that the author is writing about a talented young man who is rejected by his conservative family and dealing with internal emotional angst. However I haven’t been able to make it farther than a few hours in because the angst is too much. The story is nicely written in that it takes place outside of this young man’s home in about his traveling to another country. I won’t say I don’t give it A shot but I will say that I would’ve preferred something lighter :-)

Could not finish it
Could not get to like the guy. So many gay novels are about very self centered young men.. also this novel and many others are about young gay men who have great skills without having done much work to gain the skill. I am getting back to trying to find a novel worth the time sorry
