About this listen

As natural disasters begin to befall them the closer they become, Milo and Marcos soon begin to wonder if the universe itself is plotting against them in this young adult debut by the playwright and creator of The Two Princes podcast, Kevin Christopher Snipes.

Milo Connolly has managed to survive most of high school without any major disasters, so by his calculations, he’s well past due for some sort of Epic Teenage Catastrophe. Even so, all he wants his senior year is to fly under the radar.

Everything is going exactly as planned until the dreamy and charismatic Marcos Price saunters back into his life after a three-year absence and turns his world upside down. Suddenly Milo is forced to confront the long-buried feelings that he’s kept hidden not only from himself but also from his deeply religious parents and community.

To make matters worse, strange things have been happening around his sleepy Florida town ever since Marcos’s return—sinkholes, blackouts, hailstorms. Mother Nature is out of control, and the closer Milo and Marcos get, the more disasters seem to befall them. In fact, as more and more bizarre occurrences pile up, Milo and Marcos find themselves faced with the unthinkable: Is there a larger, unseen force at play, trying to keep them apart? And if so, is their love worth risking the end of the world?

Frustrating

Milo gave me enough anxiety to last his and my lifetime. I couldn’t wait for the story to end

I need more of this!

I’m an avid queer fiction reader and I can honestly say this is one of the best books I’ve ever picked up. It’s unique, it’s imaginative, and it’s downright adorable. It captures important coming-of-age aspects like internalized homophobia and doesn’t shy away from the not so romantic parts of growing up. I read this in two days (almost in one sitting but I started it late at night)! I hope this author comes back with a sequel! I loved this book!

Exceptionally Crafted

As both a written work and performance, “Milo and Marcos” is thoroughly enjoyable. Very real, heavy circumstances are skillfully navigated by characters written with a lot of heart.

Gay religious teen

I wanted to like this book and liked the premise. As someone who grew up as extremely religious and gay I was really hoping that this story would speak to me. unfortunately the main character was way too whiny and inconsistent for me. In one sentence he is committing to his god that he won't act on his gay urges and in the very next sentence he is professing his love for Marcos. That happens several times and we never get to see any of the intellectual struggle that Milo is having to jump from one extreme to the next. The narrator was not good at creating distinct voices for each of the characters.

Weird but good

In some ways this was a painful book. Our MC, Milo, is very religious, and he has to come to terms with being gay. The utter anxiety Milo has is difficult to listen to. He is so very afraid of God and of society judging him. But the book has a happy ending. Milo learns to have courage within his cognitive dissonance. And it the end, that makes the book hopeful and happy.

Milo needs to see a psychiatrist because he is so indecisive about everything

It got boring. Marco was a saint for dealing with Milo It had the religious stuff which was unsettling

Good story, could be shorter

The concept was great! The very real issues that the boys face in terms of identity, family, and faith were handled very well and with great authenticity. The performance by Sanderlin was nicely done. Plenty of cuteness to go around. The only thing that I have to say against it is that it is very repetitive. Two or three rounds of "Boy likes boy, boy messes up, boy says sorry, repeat" would have been plenty to convey that Milo struggled with fear. No need for a sink hole, ice, power outage, comet, lightning, fire, hurricane. Should have picked two or three signs and wonders.
