Here we have Tanner and Roo who's been inseparable best friends since Roo moved to Sunbury, Oregon with his family. They are extremely close and happy, even with Roo's epilepsy and Tanner's dyslexia poses challenges for both of them. Roo's condition requires his family to have to move back to Australia because Roo needs surgery. Tanner is heartbroken but continues on. Five long years pass with hardly any contact. Then Roo comes home. Roo's been in love with Tanner since he realized he was into guys. Those 5 years apart has changed absolutely nothing. He has to tell Tanner and hopes for a miracle that his straight best friend might somehow feel the same way. Tanner loves Roo with his whole heart...he always has...but what he believes to be as a best friend... someone he cares about...someone he can't live without...someone who he wants to give everything...but surely he's not IN love with him despite the whole town including his parents saying he is. Their reunion, their getting used to each other again, and the massive realizations they have about one another tell another story. While they discover their feelings for each other we also get a glimpse into a nosy small town, a great group of friends, and lots and lots of fun and laughter. Looking forward to book #2. A light and easy read about two best friends who reunite after five years of distance and see what’s been right under their noses the whole time (well technically one of the the guys, the other’s been pining and yearning since day 1). It’s 99% fluff with corny Kangaroo jokes, lots of “platonic” affection—lap sitting, cuddling, kissing (pretty much everywhere besides the lips)—and a small town where a good number of people are like “you guys sure you’re not in a relationship?” long before it’s official. I really like how they help each other face their personal insecurities (Tanner is dyslexic and Roo is epileptic). Everything was pretty perfect apart from Tanner’s obliviousness and Roo’s occasional bouts of doubt, but perfect timing because I really needed this saccharine sweet story for its feel-good vibes! (Audiobook was amazing as expected of two of my favorite narrators This was a sweet story about best friends who have been apart for the last 5 years. Roo has to move out of the country for epilepsy surgery, but he stays away because he is in love with his best friend, Tanner, who is straight. Roo decides it is time for a visit and to let Tanner know how he feels. Tanner is so happy to see Roo and wants to do anything he can to keep him in town. They get closer, and Tanner eventually realizes that he may not be as straight as he thinks. They were so sweet together, and I loved watching their relationship continue to blossom, even after 5 years. Their interactions were so natural to them, and I loved that. Tanner was the perfect sunshine to Roo's grumpiness. I enjoyed this. I am voluntarily reviewing an ARC provided by Gay Romance Reviews aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The narrators, Alexander Cendese and Kirt Graves, do a great job. Alexander Cendese brings Tanner to life, and plays the humour well. I've heard him read many times. Kirt Graves' voice is distinct from Cendese's voice, which I appreciate, and he brings the sass to feisty, cynical Roo. The contrast between the two MCs is great. I just love the way that they adore each other so much their annoying sides roll off each other.
There are some great lines in this and I had a few good laughs.
