Publisher's summary

Augustus Walker, Jr. is a problem.

Every queer person I know has had a tragic crush on a straight person at some point in their lives, and for the last year, Walker has been mine.

Not that my crush on him is serious—I'm just appreciating a sweet, sexy guy who happens to be a big fat goose egg on the Kinsey scale.

Le sigh and all that.

The Lost Boys—my queer friends from high school—insist, however, that he gets flustered every time we're in the same room together. Last night, he blushed when I teased him about his perfect abs.

I'm afraid to push because I respect his sexuality, and I see how his family feels about him having a bunch of gay friends.

Still, I gotta wonder… am I the only one with a crush?

So Perfect!

Loved everything about this. Ngl, some of those classroom moments made me seriously nostalgic for my teaching days. Beautiful, thoughtful story. I wish I had an edited version to share with friends who didn't like it this spicy, although those bits were well-written, too.

Redefining Family

Walker’s life was in the process of changing, whether his parents liked it or not. They never supported his dream of being a teacher, a low paying, not very respectable job in their eyes. They expected him to run one of their tire shops; not waste time and money on a college degree. They were not happy when he cut his hours at their business to take his dream teaching job and volunteer for a youth home. They were especially not happy when he appeared to have feelings for another man. How far of lengths will they go to to steer his life back to where it should belong in their minds?

Very far lengths. You will not believe. Read the trigger warnings.

I apologize for writing this review about Walker when he is not the man on the cover. Ozzie was so understanding and patient with Walker; the perfect soul mate.

This is book 2, my favorite of the Lost Boys series. In the town of Seguin Texas, high school teacher, Mr Paige, started an LGBTQ student group before those were a thing. He called them his Lost Boys. After tragedy strikes, the original lost boys reunite in their hometown. The series is about the town’s recent changes, the lost boys finding their way, and discovering love. I have listened to 500+ MM romance books and I can tell you; this series is something special. It should win awards.

I am a huge fan of Declan Winters and he did an amazing job. His voice for Walker is my favorite of all voices I have ever heard him perform; the deep baritone, Texas twang, and uncertainness that is Walker.

I cannot explain the depth of the scenes in this book. Very emotional.

dissapointing

This was a dissapointing listen. I think it's a me problem. I wasn't feeling these characters including the supporting cast of friends.
