"He's a psycho." That's what Mike is told when he asks who the kid is with the dark swoop of hair and eyes that look like icebergs floating in milk. From that moment, it becomes Mike's mission to find out everything about this kid. The kid who can fight better than anyone, but doesn't want to. The kid who is the greatest artist Mike's ever met. The kid who only wants to be his friend during the lightest days of summer. The kid who tells him that being his friend at school will only ruin Mike's reputation. Regardless of what the kid tells Mike, he doesn't realize that summer is the best time - it has the most light - and it makes it easier for Mike to see who he truly is. And there's no way Mike will back off once he sees this kid for who he truly is.

This coming of age story had so much emotion and want, it was very gripping. I loved how the two main characters knew they had a future, but respected each other enough to wait until they were both ready. I loved that the person who was regarded as a loser, a fighter, and nothing to the small town was actually the most kind, loving and selfless person.
There were so many lessons taught by Ian to Mike that were heartwarming and sad, but inevitably beautiful. Chase Connor writes emotion that hits the depth of your soul.
Brian Lore Evans is a new-to-me narrator, but I can't imagine this book performed by anyone else. He captured the tone and feeling of the words so perfectly, his voice breaking with Ian and Mike's sentiment without fail. It added a depth to the story that I didn't even think was possible, and just brought Ian and Mike further to life. He's definitely a narrator that I will look for in the future.
Very worth the read AND listen. Perfectly performed. Absolutely recommended.

The narration was excellent, with good but low-key characterisation and the perfect mood for the story. At first I would have liked the reader to take it a fraction slower, but after the first chapter I no longer noticed this, so either he slowed or more likely I tuned in.
Highly recommended for both teens and adults.
Loved this beautifully written and narrated story

Here is my original review back in March
Great story that has such a warm feeling to it. Makes you consider more deeply the things that touch you. I love walking away from a book and feeling incredibly satisfied. Thanks Chase you scored big on this one. I look forward to reading more of your work. ❤️
Beautiful Story

The basic story is to kids Ali and Mike meeting when they are 15 years old up to they are 23 years old. From high school to college and law school and growing up together as friends and at the end as lovers. But at the same time you see the bad side of being 15, not being the popular kid, family abuse and death in a character family.
The journey you take here is their lives and how they learned and help each other through the issues of being a teenager in a small town in Texas , learning their boundaries and setting boundries.
I highly recommend this audible and as the old saying make sure you have Kleenex.
