Hunter never expected to be a boy band star, but, well, here he is. He and his band Kiss & Tell are on their first major tour of North America, playing arenas all over the United States and Canada (and getting covered by the gossipy press all over North America as well). Hunter is the only gay member of the band, and he just had a very painful breakup with his first boyfriend—leaked sexts, public heartbreak, and all—and now everyone expects him to play the perfect queer role model for teens.

Story
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.

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.

Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

The rules are simple: Help a human within one moon cycle and return to Pacifica to become an Elder—or fail and remain stuck on land forever. Crest is eager to get their Journey over and done with. Humans are disgusting. They’ve polluted the planet so much that there’s a floating island of trash that’s literally the size of a country.

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.

Norris is clever, cynical, and quite possibly too smart for his own good. A Black French Canadian, he knows from watching American sitcoms that those three things don’t bode well when you are moving to Texas. Plunked into a new high school, Norris finds himself cataloging everyone he meets: the Cheerleaders, the Jocks, the Loners, and even the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Making a ton of friends has never been a priority for him, and this way he can at least amuse himself until it’s time to go back to Canada, where he belongs. Yet those labels soon become actual people to Norris....

It's been 10 years since we've seen each other, and the feelings are still as strong. I'm not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect. Because it was...until it wasn't. I've been fine without him. I haven't missed his cruelty, his coldness, and his spite. And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.

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.

And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale and River to the best friend of the dead kid at school. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten. When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials.

I never thought I’d find love. I spent all of high school watching others pair up, my little gay heart slowly withering in despair… until the fateful summer night that I met Tim. His meaty muscles and smoldering silver eyes already haunt my dreams. And I know for a fact that he’s lonely like me. I’ve been taking care of Tim ever since he got into an accident that was technically my fault, but the healing he needs goes so much deeper than that. I need him too. With any luck, I’ll end senior year with the man of my dreams at my side.

So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next. As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she’s dead.

What a wonderful book, all the boys had distinct voices, which it’s not an easy thing to achieve with four MC, but I had not trouble remembering who was talking at any given time, as each of them had completely different personalities and issues.
The romance aspect was super cute too!
The narrators were very good too.

Adored!
I adored this book! I've really enjoyed Phil's previous YA books, but this one, I loved it!
I loved Heath and Gabriel and Reese and Sal so much, I just wanted to wrap them all up in a great big hug!
I enjoyed seeing the 4 of them really come into their own over the course of the Summer before their senior year. This was the first time they were really all separated and you could tell it was hard on them, some moreso than others, but it really helped them learn things about themselves that they might not have, had they never had the chance to strike out on their own.
I ended this book wanting more, and was so happy to see Phil announce that we would be getting more of them next year! February isn't so far away, especially with the way time is flying, it'll be here before we know it.
The four narrators were wonderful- each one was perfect for the character they portrayed!

It neither makes them absolutely chaste like some other authors or completely relies on stereotypes. They were so different that so many of us could see ourselves in different characters. I like how the guys who would otherwise be considered dominant because of their size or looks (Heath and Gabe) were actually way more sensitive than the brainy and creative guys (Sal and Reese). Overall such a lovely tale that could absolutely use a follow up!

Sequel?!?!?!
Did a great job of character development but I want more!
The story felt a little rushed but even if this was the one and only book than I’d feel okay about it. However I’m left wanting a college/coming of age continuum. Over all 10/10

definitely YA
I liked the multiple POVs and how it was more than plain text. The story makes me feel warm but I can see how it doesn’t work for some people.

A light story of four boys discovering themselves
It's nice to hear voices I've heard from other audiobooks (brkggkn snow and micheal crouch) as well as voice I've yet to hear (Shawn k jain and Graham Halstead). Their performances were very good and told the story well.
The story itself reflects a similar emotional beat and gone of Phil Stamper's previous work "The Gravity of Us" in that it doesn't delve too heavily into the emotional angst or drama when it comes to a coming of age story. It's lighthearted with a few emotional moments, but the separated parallel lines of each character's story detracts from being able to focus on a couple dynamic at a time. Had it been a couple's story at a time and their action/reaction to their relationship, their present, and their past, then I believe it would have made their resolve for the future more impactful.
That said, it is a nice story that touches up on light drama of relationships and uncertainty of the future.

Forced Relationships
I really wanted to enjoy this LGBTQA+ novel as a fellow queer individual, but for the life of me I could not connect with any of the characters. The story wasn’t terrible by any means, but the characters just felt so whiny and their problems so…first world problems. As the reader I didn’t get any depth of their character development and when it felt like I would, the segment / chapter was rushed, and then it ended. As for the characters themselves, I didn’t gravitate toward any of them. I almost found them annoying if I’m being honest, which is a shame because again, I really wanted to get to a point where I cared about them. The ending with Reese and Heath also felt incredibly forced and a bit cringe worthy when it came to their interaction.

underwhelming
The best part of this audio book was the voice acting. The story however, is all about teens with existential crisis and unrealistic expectations of the world.
