About this listen

When an attempt to kiss his best friend becomes a prom night disaster, Elliot Dove's confusion surrounding his sexuality is thrown into overdrive.

Desperate for some clarity, Elliot turns to GlimpseTech, a company offering all over-sixteens a 44-second glimpse of what lies ahead. But Elliot's Glimpse only makes him more confused, showing him in an intimate moment with Sebastian Glass, the "one gay kid" in his year at school.

Seb, meanwhile, hates Glimpses and blames the technology for his dad's absence. Unlike the protesters picket-lining GlimpseTech headquarters, Seb has other things to worry about, like his mom's depression and the man showing up at his house demanding money. Then he bumps into Elliot and bumps into him again until it seems the universe is pulling them together. Despite the vast differences in their lives, Elliot and Seb find something they were missing in each other, and soon friendship blooms into something more.

Tensions are growing in the outside world. Rumors of the so-called "Last Day"—the day beyond which no one has seen in their Glimpse—are causing widespread panic. With the end of the world an increasingly real prospect, a seemingly uncrossable class divide, and the secret of Elliot's Glimpse a ticking time bomb, the universe may have other plans for Elliot and Seb.

Against The Stars is an exploration of class, love, and destiny, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera's They Both Die At The End. This speculative queer romance will have listeners desperate to know how things turn out, but if given the choice, would you glimpse ahead?

I love anything with Joe Jameson. The story was cute and had incredibly sad moments but overall was a fun listen.

Cute story, great narration

Story was good, performance was good - hard to differentiate narrators, though (except for the conspiracy theorist-bad guy). Silvera’s books, IMHO, were better.

Had a hard time getting past the narration

I truly wish that there where more LGBT books like this when I was younger and I can’t stop thinking about how wonderful it is now for the next generation to have books like this one to connect with. The story was well written and the narration was stunning. This really is a must read and listen … Even tho this is January first… this year is going to be my hardest one… thank you for this amazing experience.

Love

This is a well crafted, captivating story beautifully narrated by three of the most talented actors in audio books. There are a a few flawed moments in the story that prevented me from rating it with five stars, but it’s absolutely worth a listen.
