This story took place in 1980s in Chicago. It opens on the MC planning suicide because he cannot imagine letting his family down when they find out he is gay. I won’t share anymore about the story, but I graduated high school during that time and found it to be absolutely realistic! I found the..

But that’s not a bad thing, I wouldn’t classify it really as romance though it did have an underlying one in there that I really wish was explored more but this was honestly a beautiful story filled with wonderfully flawed characters. It deals with heavy topics and is pretty emotional. The narration was done well…

Good narration and use of background sound effects. Really helps bring you into the story.
Oof, this one was a tough listen! Randy’s struggle to come to terms with himself, his raw pain at losing his son, the heightened fear around AIDS, his wife’s grief over the loss of the life she thought she had…it was all so PRESENT in audio. I didn’t expect it and found myself with tears..
