About this listen
Tobias Jackson grew up in Coburn, a town where the gay population equaled exactly one: him. Add that to the fact that his dream guy was his best friend's jerky older brother, Levi Baxter, and it made hooking up virtually impossible.
Now home from college for winter break, Toby is a different person. He left Coburn for San Francisco, where he wasn't the lone gay guy and the only black kid in town. And yeah, he took advantage of what the city had to offer.
Apparently Toby isn't the only one who's changed. Levi's not acting like the self-centered guy with all the answers that Toby remembers from growing up. Oh, and Levi's realized that he's bisexual, which makes things a lot more interesting.
Heading back to college, Toby doesn't expect to meet up with Levi again, despite him being in med school not far away. A surprise visit from Levi blows that assumption out of the water. As they spend more time together, Toby sees Levi as more than just the fantasy; he's complicated, unsure, and real. But if Toby can't get out of the past and find the words he keeps locked inside himself, he'll lose his chance at Levi for good.

Wonderful story
This is a lovely story of 2 young men battling on their own until a chance run in at a Club. Even though they have known each other for over a decade. Sean was brilliant in his narration

We need more interracial romances!
Toby has grown up being the only out and only Black kid in town. He finds it hard to trust people since his mother left him and his father. He’s always had a crush on his best friend’s older brother, Levi. I liked this but didn’t love it. What I liked: the interracial romance, we need more books with non-WASP characters and I would have loved further exploration of Toby’s experiences as a Black man; Levi’s cocky honesty. What I didn’t like: (1) I think if it was the first mm romance book is read, I probably would have been wowed by it. Maybe it was groundbreaking in 2015 but I felt like I’ve read lots of these tropes before. (2) I felt like there was an unrealistic amount of self-analysis, I don’t think most of us can honestly verbalise our emotions or motives so clearly and consistently - Levi & Toby were literally too self-conscious. Great to see Sean Crisden, a Black performer, providing the audio narration - I always enjoy his smooth tones.
