From the award-winning author of Something Like Summer and Straight Boy....

Sometimes dreams come true, whether you’re ready for them or not.

Shane was only 14 when found a photo of a boy his age and became obsessed with it. Now, 13 years later, he has a chance encounter with a man who bears a striking resemblance. Already in a happy relationship, Shane must keep his fantasies in check while attempting to solve the mystery, but little does he realize just how many connections they share. The Boy at the Bottom of the Fountain is a heartwarming short story about love in its many forms, be they real or imagined.

I am a Jay Bell fan and wow this was a short story filled with so much emotion. I am not sure how Jay Bell did it, but it was awesome. Charlie David was phenomenal at bringing the characters to life and it was so good I listened twice. I highly recommend to all Jay Bell fans and those that like a good short love story.

The pacing reminds me of a well-written sitcom. It's focused and doesn't overstay its welcome. Sometimes you should enjoy things for what they are and this is one of those times. In this quick story, there is something to love about all the characters; because of this, I don't want to spoil it. I'll just say it's the perfect break from any genre that doesn't involve romance. Happy Listening!

This was a pretty enjoyable short story. No weird drama. Doesn’t morph into porn after chapter one. Not quite believable, but not ridiculous either lol

Sweet and upbeat

Jay Bell provides a nice complete short story. I like the cast of characters and I could believe the premise. Though three characters are involved, Shane is the one I related to the most and I really liked the conclusion of this tale. Jay Bell is phenomenal story teller and Charlie David is a great narrator.

I love Jay Bell's books and how he makes characters that you get each perspective, so you feel each character. this was a beautiful story with a good messages for each character. now if you excuse me, I have to wipe my face from crying. Curse you Jay Bell for riping my heart out again, and me asking you to do it again.

I was a cute story, a nice fantasy that a young gay boy would appreciate

The sound quality was bad to raspy
