Arthur and Teddy Are Coming Out by Ryan Love

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.

I tried to listen to this as an audiobook and DNF'ed at 28%

I'm not sure if it was the narrator who voiced the Teddy chapters, the cringe way the characters spoke to each other or the fact that Teddy is just a wholly unlikable character but I couldn't listen to any more.

Overall a premise I really loved and the Arthur story and narrator was more favourable as far as I could tell but I found myself rolling my eyes and scoffing enough that I had to give up on this one.

Not worth the time.
