About this listen
This novel was named a finalist in the 2022 Next Generation Indie Book Awards for the 17 years and up, Young Adult/New Adult category!
Additionally, Indie Reader calls it: a well-structured novella with an engrossing opening and chock-full of twists and turns. R.L. Greene has written with such energy and heart and the nuanced lessons along the chapters culminate in such a rewarding reading experience.
Superstar high school quarterback Brian Hollingsworth might have it all, but he wants none of it. Best friend Dylan is a badass who believes he runs the world - and for the most part - he pretty much does. Randy is a bad boy looking to establish his reputation. Stewart is just a loser turned about by the breeze.
A lonely, manipulative boy accidentally brings these four disparate teens together in the woods. Fists fly. Revenge escalates. Twenty-four hours later, one is clinging to life. Another has stolen a gun. A coward is on the run and someone
is on the hunt. With souls teetering on the edge of tragedy, one-by-one, enemies realize that in order to save themselves they must first save each other.
A powerful story about loss and forgiveness, rage and redemption, told from different perspectives and with a whole lot of heart.

Terrific young adult fiction!
Greene tackles very serious topics facing young adults using real and relevant language that will resonate with young and old alike! His characters are relatable and make the story come to life. For those of us who raised teenage boys, it brings back memories of that very tumultuous time. Overall, a great read/listen! Highly recommend it.

narrated by the author
Enemies. Who better than the author to give each character their voice and emotions? Listen to the author, Roger L Greene, do just that with Brian, Dylan, Randy and Stewart as they navigate the struggles of being teenage boys.

Exceptional and Heartfelt
I cried and laughed throughout this book. There were so many incredible passages that tugged on my heart strings and made me feel deeply for the characters. There were so many major changes in each character and I appreciate that these changes weren’t immediate and that it showed how it can take time. You have to keep at it and it makes all the difference if you have people around you that encourage your changes and will support you through it all. This book does well at explaining this and shows the many unassuming people that can step up and be with you. You can be that unassuming person for someone else. It was incredibly powerful and encouraging. There were many quotes from the book that are true and applicable to every day life. “ Change isn’t giving up something you want, It’s giving up something you don’t want anymore.” It can be scary, imagining giving up parts of your old self in order to change for the better, but if you think of it as you’re giving up things, you don’t want anymore to accomplish things that you do, it’s a different mindset. “It’s all the little things that add up that make us who we are.” It can be easy to think who we are is a big grand gesture that you haven’t done yet, but it actually is all of the small things that we do, think and say that add up and make us who we are. “It occurs to me that when I think how other people see me and what they think of me, it might be that I’m looking more through my eyes of inadequacy than their eyes of superiority. So maybe I need to check my vision every now and then.” It’s so easy to think others are being as critical on us as we are on ourselves. We are our own worst critic. We can only change if we want to change. No one else can do it for us. Every choice we make is who we are and some times we mess it up, but the good thing is that we have many small choices in a day to do better, every day. There were a few technical things when reading the book that made it harder to understand which character was saying what. And the overall narration takes a couple minutes to get used to, as most audible books do, but overall this was an incredible book and a must read! “ Change isn’t giving up something you want, It’s giving up something you don’t want anymore.”

Everyone can relate to this book!
There are several intersecting characters in which at some point or other in our lives we can relate to each one which makes the book feel more human and relatable. Each age group will be able to relate depending on where they have been and where they are now in their lives. Great read!
