Summary
"A beautiful tribute to every queer kid who's ever had to leave their home in order to find one." (Leah Johnson, best-selling author of You Should See Me in a Crown)
The author of The Gravity of Us crafts another heartfelt coming-of-age story about finding the people who become your home - perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli.
Marty arrives in London with nothing but his oboe and some savings from his summer job, but he's excited to start his new life - where he's no longer the closeted, shy kid who slips under the radar and is free to explore his sexuality without his parents' disapproval.
From the outside, Marty's life looks like a perfect fantasy: In the span of a few weeks, he's made new friends, he's getting closer with his first-ever boyfriend, and he's even traveling around Europe. But Marty knows he can't keep up the façade. He hasn't spoken to his parents since he arrived, he's tearing through his meager savings, his homesickness and anxiety are getting worse and worse, and he hasn't even come close to landing the job of his dreams. Will Marty be able to find a place that feels like home?

Absolutely incredible
I'm so in love with this story, it's unbelievable. The exploration of mental health in YA literature is always really important and this book did it really well! No critique, honestly. Really recommend this, once I started I couldn't stop listening to it. From writing style to the narrator who was a perfect fit, I loved all of it!

Another Brilliant Book
loved both books by this author so far, and of course it was another amazing performance by Michael Crouch. I wasn't expecting there to be a whole storyline featuring eating disorders and that's the only reason I gave it four instead of five stars. But overall, a really great read.

narration that made me physically cringe
It's a cute enough story! I think I would have liked it more if I'd read it myself, but the attempts at english/irish/kiwi accents nearly made me commit violence.
