About this listen
Roo:
Five years ago, I walked away from Sunbury, Oregon, and left my best friend behind. The move was supposed to get my life on track. I even had a list: Life-changing epilepsy surgery. Check. See the world. Check. Get over my straight best friend... Not exactly.
No matter where I go or who I meet, I can't let Tanner go. I'm back to tell him how I feel. To get the closure I need once and for all. Only now I'm here and falling for him all over again, it's getting harder to say the words. Because once I have my closure, I'll be gone. And this time it will be for good.
Tanner:
When my best friend, Roo, left for Australia, it was the worst day of my life. I thought we'd have each other always. But Roo needed the surgery so I let him go, thinking he'd come straight back. Five years is a long time.
Now he's here, all I want is to hold on tight. I need to show him what he means to me. The problem is, I'm not exactly sure what that is. My draw to him has always been confusing and different - everyone in town says so. But I struggle to understand it. All I know is I won't survive him leaving again. And I'll do anything to make him stay.
Contains mature themes.

This book demonstrates the author’s wonderful sense of humour and comedic timing. The writing just flows from page to page and it is well paced, ensuring the reader’s attention doesn’t drift. It shifts from moving quickly along from scene to scene, to slowing down and allowing the reader to revel in the romantic and emotional passages.
Narration:
I have read this book twice. The first time was a read through only with just the book. The second time, a few months later was with the audio using Kindle’s Whispersync function. The narrators, Alexander Cendese and Kirt Graves, did an amazing job of bring Tanner, Roo, and the rest of the cast to life.
I’m a huge fan of Alexander’s and I loved his take on Tanner. He was able to portray Tanner’s energy and exuberance for life, but also his confusion and complete obliviousness in regard to Roo, but once Tanner catches up, Alexander’s inflection of Tanner’s internal dialogue means that there is no denying how he feels for Roo. Kirt Graves made Roo sound exactly like he did in my head. Roo is a quieter character than Tanner. His lifelong battle with epilepsy, especially when he was younger, left him more introverted than the energetic and outgoing Tanner. Kirt managed to capture his personality without making him out to be a depressing or ‘downer’ character. He expressed beautifully Roo’s hope for returned feelings from Tanner, but with the underlining emotion that it likely wasn’t going to happen.
For me the narration pushed this book from really, really good to absolutely amazing!
Regardless of how you enjoy this book, I’d highly recommend checking it out. It’s one of those feel good books that just leaves you with a smile on your face, and that is the absolutely best type of book!
A beautiful Friends to Lovers Story

An interesting character but nothing else new

Roo and Tanner have been best friends since they were 11 years old.
Roo refused to Australia at the end of their senior year for surgery. Their friendship took a hit over the years but now Roo is back.
Tanner has always been straight, or so he thought.
Two best friends, one bed and a whole lot of history.
This is definitely a fluff type of book. It’s a good read and has some great elements.
