Reread 12/11/16-12/12/6I read this last year and enjoyed it very much so when I saw the Audio I jumped to it and was not disappointed. [a:Michael Pauley 1302332 Michael Pauley https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png] does an excellent job.I stand by my review. I would add the caveat that this does lean a little too strongly on the “I don't know if I'm gay I'm just attracted to you” trope. I give it a pass because these two, Indie & Daniel, are underage college boys embarking on their first grand love affair The romantic in me hopes they stay together growing and learning and becoming men able to confidently acknowledge themselves as gay men in love with each other. Originally read 11/19/15-11/19/5It all starts with a power outage and a freezing cold dorm room and the lives of Indie and Daniel are turned upside down. In a good way.Indie & Daniel are roommates and good friends but quite opposite. Indie comes from a loving middle class family in Florida. He's a little sheltered but not naive or weak. Daniel is a girl magnet jock from a more privileged background. He also has a stepmother from hell. This was a sweet first time love story with a virgin, some pretty intense family drama and GFY theme. But what prevailed was the sweetness and the inherent goodness of Indie in spite of his youth & inexperience that you believe in a HEA or since they are in college a HFN for the MC's and that Daniel couldn't have landed in a better place than with Indie and his family.
