Publisher's summary

I love him. And I’m pretty sure he loves me back...even though he’s straight.

When I first met Carter King, I knew he was something special. I imagined us being together, and we are, but only as friends. Best friends! I’m trying to be cool with that, even though I know he has secrets, and there have definitely been mixed signals. I don’t want a crush to ruin what we already have. Then again, if there’s any chance that we can be together, it’s worth the risk, because Carter could be the love of my life. Or he might be the boy who breaks my heart.

Straight Boy is Jay Bell’s emotional successor to his critically acclaimed Something Like... series. This full-length novel tells a story of friendship and love while skirting the blurry line that often divides the two.

Sweet Young Gay Fiction

At first I wasn't sure about this. But as the story unfolded and friendships developed, I was hooked and read it in three days.

Good but slow read

I really enjoyed this book. The storyline took a long time to get to the point, however. The narrator Kirt Graves was a trooper but his voice for Carter sounded like Joseph gribble from king of the hill and that distracted me a lot. Other than that pretty good read.

Amazing Story with a Dark Twist

Jay Bell did a great job writing believable characters. The narration helps brings them to life. #LoveForMyStraightBoy

Entertaining but dark

I am a huge Jay Bell fan. This story however was a bit darker than I usually like. It is like all of his books well written. There were just some parts where I got very upset at the characters very unbelievable reactions and decisions.

Whirlwind of emotions

I mostly listen to audio books while I’m at work. This book had me going from laughing out loud to tearing up while I was at work. I received many strange looks from customers because of it. I listen with my headphones in so they had no idea why I was laughing or tearing up. I absolutely loved this book!
