USA Today bestseller!

A romantic, heartfelt, and hilarious queer coming-of-age story from All That's Left in the World author Erik J. Brown, perfect for fans of What If It’s Us and If This Gets Out.

Tommy Dees is in the weeds—restaurant speak for beyond overwhelmed. He’s been working as a server at Sunset Estates retirement community to get the experience he needs to attend one of the best culinary schools in the world. And to make his application shine, he also needs a letter of recommendation from his sadistic manager. But in exchange for the letter, Tommy has to meet three conditions—including training the new hire.

What he doesn’t expect is for the newbie to be an old crush: Gabe, with the dimples and kind heart, who Tommy fell for during summer camp at age eleven and then never saw again. Unfortunately, Gabe doesn’t remember Tommy at all. The training proves distracting as old feelings resurface and the universe seems to be conspiring against them.

With the application deadline looming and Gabe on his mind, Tommy is determined to keep it all together—but what if life isn’t meant to follow a recipe?

I did not expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. It was so cute, cozy, and lighthearted. The ending seemed a little abrupt but I didn’t mind it. These characters were very lovable, and I would not mind dipping back into this world for more stories with them.

Let me start by saying, I listened to What If It’s Us & Here’s To Us multiple times before giving this a listen. So it’s very possible I was spoiled by Froy Gutierrez and Noah Galvin’s performances. I expected more life from the narration, but once I moved past the performance I got to the heart of a story that was amazing. What Thomas went through and his relationship with Gabe, was so interesting and relatable for the most part. There are a decent amount of loose ends by the end of the book simply because the focus deters from Thomas and Gabe to Thomas’s friends, but I wish there was a little more about them featured. Whether that means more story or less time spent on Thomas and Gabe is uncertain, but overall and really sweet listen and the ending is for sure one of the cutest

A story with a unique, yet predictable twist.

Enjoyable, entretaining and easy to listen to. Fun, heartfelt and unexpected. What could have turned into a drama has a possitive outcome.

If you swoon for YA romance à la “Carry On,” “Red, White and Royal Blue,” and “The Charm Offensive,” this will be 100% to your palette

I liked it. Made me laugh, gasp and swoon during a few of the scenes but it left something to be desired, especially with the ending. As someone else pointed out, the cast is way too big and I found myself lost sometimes with what was going on and who was who. Again, i liked it but having previously read All Thats Left in the World, I was expecting more from this book.

I would’ve liked a better ending

A great book for easy listening, the story is pretty tame, but still entertaining. Perfect to play in the background

It was a good story but it all sewed together a little late .. that’s my only concern

Let's be real: I generally listen to these novels, as an adult, for mind candy escape. I didn't get it. It wasn't mind candy (ok maybe a bit of boy-pines-for-boy).

I very much enjoyed that there were multiple side stories that kept the book interesting and amusing. Fun and funny characters, queer and non,

Hella props for diversity and going after assumptions we all make.

The voice actor was exceptional for novels in the genre and honestly for fancier more expensive ones. We all know this -- the voice actor can make or break the book. This gentleman pulled it all off, like a magic trick, like a great voice actor they drift off to the background.

I really appreciated the main character who was self reflective but also like me when I was 17, thick as a cement wall, but with some satisfying self growth.

Imagine one of these M2M novels that you've loved for its PG romance but better written, with some surprising and not so surprising twists, and a happy ending that doesn't quite tile the knots (I'll buy the sequel).

Here's the clincher: my Enjoy.

Fun and Playful/Serious

It wasn’t amazing, but it was a nice story with ups and downs along the way. The narration was okay. There were just a few moments I wished the writer would have just cut to the chase. But overall, it was a good story.

Great story with lots of fun and serious twists
A good story is only good if you believe the performer is the lead character, and I did from the first chapter. And please write a sequel

The performance needs 10 stars
