Curtis

A moving Love story, only slightly hindered by the AI voice.

Revisado: 12-21-24

A long detailed story that never gets boring, building every character with precision. The love felt genuine and the ending was moving, a great listen ✌🏻

chapter 24 is cringe to the max

Revisado: 07-16-24

fun until it wasn't, then it became a barrage of virtue signals with no plot. it's just pretty standard woke signaling like most LGBTQ+ books these days.

Way better than I had expected!

Revisado: 07-08-24

I was happily surprised by this book. Didn't expect how naturally funny it was, with the wit being far and above most other recent LGB stories. There was a few moments that sort of knocked some of the shine off by highlighting the clear political bias that the author holds, but aside from that, it was a fun listen, with really good narration. I think Mark Sanderlin has definitely gotten his groove with this one, with clear characters, and solid emotions. The story is a little generic plot wise, but nothing wrong with that, there's comfort in listening to stories with similar plots, like being a fan of isekai anime, etc. Highly recommend

A fantastic gay historical fiction, with great narration!

Revisado: 03-18-24

This book has a lot of ups and downs but it wraps up nicely. its a real breath of fresh air in the gay romantic space, not letting itself get dragged down with stupid criteria check marks that a lot of publishers seem to mandate in all gay books nowadays. just a great story with a great romance, funny and charming. loved it, and the narrator was really good too, will have to keep an eye out for more of his work.

DEI approved story.

Revisado: 03-03-24

I imagine when the writer sat down to write this, he had a list of about 50 or so things to include in order for their book to be published, per the DEI requirements publishers command now days. That or this is the first book he wrote straight out of Berkeley.
So much wrong with this book I don't even know where to begin, an unbelievable 'bad boy' to start, who ended up just being a cliche gay personality. Not worth $17 or 1 credit. I couldn't even finish it.

finally just a cute romance, without the indoctrination.

Revisado: 12-11-23

it wasn't super original or amazing, but it was a breathe of fresh air when it comes to just telling a fun gay romance without beating the reading over the head for wrong think

Great narration, the story though was middling at best.

Revisado: 11-30-23

The narration was very well done, but plot was predictable, painful at times even. It's kinda like the writer decided to make the MC a 60 IQ Sherlock Holmes. The characters logic or lack there of, doesn't ever make sense, if there's a way to make the wrong decision, the MC finds it, and only gets out of any predicament by luck.
I did finish and it was okay overall, definitely listened to worse.

An alright story, hard to listen to though.

Revisado: 09-06-23

The narrator isn't bad, but he's very monotone, so not anything to keep you in the story really. numerous times I found myself lost on what's going on because I stopped paying attention to the story. He only puts a slight inflection in the voices to even descent there's a difference between the characters.

MC is unlikeable in any world

Revisado: 08-26-23

Same boring tropes used in every liberal gay book. MC is unlikeable and selfish, Makes every wrong decision he can to keep the book nice and long, surrounded by people who know how to guide his life better than he does and yet he still fails constantly. It felt like the ending was rushed but predictable anyway. Michael Crouch does his usual great voice work, unfortunately the story was lacking.

Joel Froomkin needs to stop doing LGB YA.

Revisado: 07-13-23

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.
