Summary
Sam never liked his birthdays because not a single one of them was happy... When he turned 1, he fell face-down into his birthday cake; when he turned 5, he broke his left arm and when he turned 7, he broke his right arm and his left leg; when he turned 12, his house caught fire. Now Sam is about to turn 16 and he is dreading the day. The only birthday wish he has is for Jake who is the Mr. Popular of Arcadia High to even acknowledge his existence, or better yet give him a happy-birthday kiss. But Sam knows that it’s not gonna happen. Or is it?

Short but sweet YA Romance
80s-era teen angst romance with coming out, falling for the High School jock, and dealing with a birthday curse.
The characters were likeable and relatable, and the sort-of-love triangle kept thinks interesting. I really enjoyed this, plus with Michael Pauley narrating, you're in for a treat!

Young love!
It´s easy to not see what you have infront of you.
A sweet, very enjoyeble young lovestory.
Great job narrator Michael Pauley, hope to hear his voice again soon. First time I´ve listening to him.
The author Perie Wolford are new to me and I´m looking forward to listening on the other books I have from him.

Really cute
This was such a cute story, and I was totally hooked from the beginning as we listen to teenager Sam discuss his fantasies of the school heartthrob. I don't normally go for books written from a teenagers POV, but I saw this was narrated by Michael Pauley and I've yet to find a bad book narrated by him so thought I'd give this a go - I'm so glad I did! The author Perie Wolford was new to me, but I'll definitely listen to more by them.
I totally wasn't expecting this book to go in the direction it did, and I loved it. It was well written and performed, I really believed I was witnessing a teenager's thoughts and actions. It was sweet, a bit angsty at times, with a lovely HE. I really want to hear what's next for Sam, and have the sequel eagerly waiting in my library.
Although we get Sam's steamy fantasies and some reality scenes, I really wanted to hear more at the end between him and his lovely boyfriend. Other than that, thanks for a great story! I'll be back for more from both author and narrator.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
