Summary

Jordan Ortiz decides he can no longer hide who he truly is. He’s gay. He comes out to his family, and then he comes out to everyone. It goes well. Like, way better than he thought possible! But that’s about where it ends. There aren’t enough "out gay" kids at school for him to build a queer social life or even consider the possibility of dating. For now, he’s happy to be the gay bestie for his BFF Hannah. 

Benjamin Cooper is the captain of the football team and known Jordan for almost his whole life. And he has a secret. When they won an award at the science fair in grade nine, Jordan hugged him, and that’s when Ben realized he had feelings for Jordan. 

As he watches Jordan come out and flower into who he is, he can’t help but feel ashamed - ashamed at what a coward he is compared to Jordan. When a broken leg and fair-weather friends leave Ben feeling lonely on Christmas break, he spends New Year’s Eve with Jordan, just hanging out in his basement like they used to, years ago. 

But as the countdown to midnight happens, and the ball is about to drop, Ben has something else in mind. At the stroke of midnight, he kisses Jordan. What starts with a surprise kiss leads to a year of shared secrets, hidden love, relationship troubles, and broken hearts. Through it all, one fact holds true - Jordan loves Benjamin, and Benjamin loves Jordan. 

But is that enough to carry them through when Ben wants to stay firmly in the closet...to the very point that this might destroy whatever hope they have of true love?

Probably better read as a book.

I really wanted to like this. The plot sounded interesting, and of what I listened to, the writing is pretty good. But the performance was really bad. I just couldn't get comfortable with the reader's voice. I gave up about ten minutes in.
I'd advice a potential buyer to listen to the sample audio before purchasing this, as I should have done, and often do, but forgot to with this.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
