About this listen

Martin Dixon's carefully-constructed, peaceful life is turned upside down when his super Christian eighteen-year-old nephew Carter shows up unexpectedly on his doorstep and announces he's gay. Martin's first impulse is to send him back to his parents. But when he discovers that Carter has been in a mental hospital to cure his gay-ness he realizes he's stuck with the boy. Unfortunately, the two get on each other's nerves, each driving the other to distraction. Independently, however, they each arrive at the same conclusion. The other would be much less annoying if he only had... a boyfriend.

Funny

I ended up really enjoying this book. I usually do romance books, which this is not. Both characters had moments of frustration for me, but were so well written and funny, I enjoyed going on their journeys with them. Carter, as an 18 year old, particularly did several things that frustrated me, even though I understood.

The narrator was new to me. At first, I was nervous that his cadence would be too slow. But once the book got started, he was perfect. I really loved what he did with both Martin and Carter, as well as the side characters. I felt like his performance really worked well with this book.

Great Story & Narration!

I chose this book as my “travel book” for an 8 hour drive, with intent to finish it on the drive back. I was laughing out loud within the first 15 minutes, whereas I usually pride myself on not being one to guffaw. As a voiceover professional I’m often overly critical, but I can’t say enough how much I truly enjoyed the narration, with each character coming to life so vibrantly. I don’t think this would have been possible (no matter how strong the narrator) if the writing hadn’t been so top notch. My 8 hour drive flew by, as I felt that I was watching a movie more than listening to a book. When I reached my destination, instead of waiting to resume listening on my journey back, I found myself listening to all I could fit in on grocery store runs and errands. I had to know what was happening within the world of Uncle Martin and his nephew Carter. This -coming of age/comedy/romance/philosophical look at human wins and weaknesses- story drew me in and held me to the end. Great writing. Great believable and entertaining narration. This- would make a great movie. I’ve got my popcorn ready. No, I was not hired to write this. A++
