About this listen

I love him. And I’m pretty sure he loves me back...even though he’s straight.

When I first met Carter King, I knew he was something special. I imagined us being together, and we are, but only as friends. Best friends! I’m trying to be cool with that, even though I know he has secrets, and there have definitely been mixed signals. I don’t want a crush to ruin what we already have. Then again, if there’s any chance that we can be together, it’s worth the risk, because Carter could be the love of my life. Or he might be the boy who breaks my heart.

Straight Boy is Jay Bell’s emotional successor to his critically acclaimed Something Like... series. This full-length novel tells a story of friendship and love while skirting the blurry line that often divides the two.

Where do I start? I know this genre probably isn't one "a man of a certain age" should enjoy but I do and I did. So beautifully written. There is nothing about any of the characters I didn't like. Andrew was mature and kind and funny. Carter is what every straight boy should be. Understanding and empathetic. This is my first Jay Bell book and it won't be my last. And the performance....absolutely flawless. Kirt Graves is by far my favourite narrator. Thank you both SO MUCH.

Story is strong but it cut a little too close to my life and can be triggering at times. Having said that it has a lot of Perks of Being a Wallflower vibes and "woe is me" sentiments. I do however feel its a great LGBT read.

Good solid story
