About this listen

Theo Briggs is a rule follower.

He's a decent student in his junior year, an appeasing son, and a lifelong Christian, just trying to make it through high school unscathed… and maybe create a viral video in the process.

Caleb Raynard is a romantic. One of the few out-and-proud kids at Specter High School, Caleb's dating life has been hellish, to say the least—fraught with misread social cues and embarrassing situations—and Caleb is about ready to call the whole thing off.

When Theo and Caleb meet in the basement of an old Catholic church that's rumored to be haunted, an instant and electric connection forms between them. The more time Theo spends around Caleb, the more he suspects that something may have followed him home from that haunted church. But was it a ghost… or something else entirely? It can't be a crush. Theo is straight, right?

As Theo and Caleb find themselves drawn together at every opportunity, the two must overcome their own hesitations and decide if the feelings they have for one another are stronger than the obstacles set in their way.

Probably Should Have Content Warnings...

I really liked the story and REALLY hope there's a second, but be warned if you have religious trauma and/or coming out trauma (there's probably a real name for that) just be warned. There were spots that were both hard to hear (even after more than 15 years) and super relatable, actually pretty much the whole book. Also, one of the narrators sounds like a newscaster and it's pretty distracting. Little dispassionate during super sweet parts. Please write a another, and thanks for the story.

Great Teen Romance

Proud of the handling of Gay youth in a book. Showing a diverse group of kids moving through life. The struggle of a boys life in a world of religious persecution for being who he is was done with an honest feel.

Performance makes it

A very mediocre story but the two narratives are nice. The narrators do a lot of the heavy lifting and brought it up over the story.

we love religious trauma

Such a sweet story and felt so genuine. My only issue was Caleb's VA does sound like someone reciting the evening news.

Fun Teenage Coming Out Angst

I didn't come out until 10 years after the story's characters but the general angst of teenage years was so relatable.

This was a fun, enjoyable listen.

Amazing

This was so amazing I can’t even process how much I love this book as a bisexual and finding this just makes me feel accepted and I just can’t express how much I love this book.

The conflict with being who you born to be and still staying true to your faith.

Sorry say this, but the voice actor for Caleb almost made me quit listening, but I am glad I finished the book. It was worth my time.

I wasn’t expecting this to be as enjoyable as it was

I have to admit that I didn’t have super high expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised. Was a very sweet funny story
