About this listen

Living a lie, Matthew 'Mattie' Alexander is exhausted. It's not easy to keep up the pretense, the deceit, but it's safer. Coming out to a world that so easily hates takes a courage he's yet to find, so he pretends - pretends to be into women - pretends to love being a part of the university's football team. It keeps him safe, hidden. Until he meets Julian.

From the moment they first meet, Mattie knows life is about to change. He's yet to determine if it is for the better or worse. Living life through laughter, Julian is lonely. Without the jokes, the humor, he would be living on the edge of depression. Succumbing to his controlling father's demands, Julian finds no joy in the path laid out before him. Until he meets Mattie.

As soon as they cross paths, Mattie has the power to drive Julian's man parts crazy with lust. But can lust be enough to help Mattie out of the closet and guide Julian into a happier place? Limits will be pushed. Rules will be broken. But it's only together that they will have the strength to overpower fear, fear of themselves, and fear of others. Just how far are they willing to go in the aim of coming out?

I didn’t like the nickname popert or poppet, idk if it’s the reader or just the nickname in general but it just sounds so wrong for the scenes

I liked the attention to detail😅

Outstanding and inspirational

I like the overall story but the narrator just doesn’t do it for me. I’m Australian and I can’t deal with his voice and he kinda ruins the characters.

Story is good, narration not so much!

Clunky dialogue made worse by a flat delivery. Something about the use of pet names such as “poppet” made me cringe. Julian’s parents are so villainous they come off as being unrealistic.

Misfire

Ordinary story and made worse by reader. Sure it’s nice to hear an Aussie accent on audible but glad I didn’t pay for this.

Much better out there

He's 36 why the hell is he still letting his parents run his life! Really terrible narration, cringe delivery, I've heard kids read better! And Poppet is a name that your Grandma would call you... ew. I gave up.

Not great- narrator was terrible and storyline unbelievable.

Writing about gay love as a married straight woman, this isn’t her story to tell.
