About this listen
Three years ago, Bear McKenna’s mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they’ve muddled through, but since he’s totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn’t actually doing much living. With a few exceptions, he’s retreated from the world, and he’s mostly okay with that - until Otter comes home.
Otter is Bear’s best friend’s older brother, and as they’ve done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect. This time, though, there’s nowhere to run from the depth of emotion between them. Bear still believes his place is as the Kid’s guardian, but he can’t help thinking there could be something more for him in the world ... something or someone.

Bear was a character that was hard to like with his inconsistent and nonsensical choices.
Otter was creepy... The obsessiveness and ignoring of boundaries is very stalkerish and entitled.
Tyson the kid was my favourite part of the story. He was cute, funny, precocious and plausible (if not probable) for his age. The relationship between Ty and Bear was more believable and more sweet than Bear and Otter.
The options for gay audiobooks is very limited so I get the impression this is a very popular book and author but it honestly wasn't that great. I would download fanfiction podfics instead of replaying this.
The voice actor clearly tried his best but the different voices he gave the different characters seemed confusing at times. Again, Tyson was the best part.

This audiobook version was equally enjoyable, but slightly different. I really enjoyed hearing the story read to me by the inimitable Sean Crisden. He embodied these characters from the start and gave them an even greater life than my mind did when I read the book the first time. This is one of my favourites and will no doubt be visited again, like an old friend, in the future.
A masterpiece of storytelling
