But after years of Jordan at his side, Owen is confronted with a terrifying decision. So any niggles Owen might have about his true sexuality must be boxed up tight and pushed away. But being gay and wrestling aren’t the best mix, especially in his family. His entire life has been grooming him for his shining moment on the mat. Jordan is an artist and has the best sense of humor. These two best friends have been inseparable since grade school. So, as much as I felt badly for their (extremely) long dance, I knew the passionate combustion was going to be worth it. I’ve been around the block with Eli enough to know she’s not going to break my heart. And that’s exactly how I felt when I listened….in a dreamland.
I might have clicked backwards a few times but never because I was lost, only because I wanted to experience the scene with a dreamy smile a second time. I’ve listened to Tristan narrate before and enjoyed him but this was superb. Owen and Jordan are without a doubt two of her best so far. One of Easton’s (many) strong suits would have to be her characters. This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to and I want to listen again! I don’t usually do audio repeats but I’m making an exception with this one. What I DO know is this I’ve finally read it or listened to be precise and it certainly deserves all the praise it’s received. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland more than I do now….I’m SO late! How did I miss this? How did it escape me? How has everyone I trust book rec’s from read it and loved it…and I’ve not read it yet? * blank blink* I don’t know.
Owen will have to face the nature of their relationship if he’s to win Jordan back. Owen won’t let anything take Jordan’s friendship away, but he never counted on Jordan running off to find a life of his own. Their friendship survives, but Jordan’s worst enemy may be himself: he can’t seem to help the fact that he is head-over-heels in love with a hopeless case – his straight friend, Owen. No one messes with Owen, or with anyone close to him, and he bucks popular opinion by keeping Jordan as his wingman even after Jordan comes out at school. Owen is a big, beautiful blond and their school’s champion wrestler. He met Owen Nelson in the second grade, and they’ve been BFFs ever since. It’s not easy for a young gay artist like Jordan Carson to grow up in Jefferson, Wisconsin, where all anyone seems to care about in middle school and high school are the sports teams.
