About this listen

Zack Sheldon doesn't have time to be lonely. He's in his last year as a pediatric resident, almost married to the job, and busy with the joys and sorrows that come with providing medical care to children. Professionally, he's confident, accomplished, and respected. But personally he's too insecure to approach a sexy man like Sergio Quartulli, or even to imagine that Sergio might be attracted to him.

Zack spots Sergio from across the gym, and then a chance meeting poolside somehow turns into a date. Before Zack knows it, they've become a couple, but Zack's white coat is his closet at the hospital, and committing to a relationship with Sergio makes it difficult for Zack to continue hiding behind it. On the other hand, he grew up in a small town where being gay was shameful, and he works in an environment that can sometimes be homophobic, so it's hard for him to open up about who he really is. Before Zack can make a choice on his own terms, circumstances force him to make a decision. He can continue to hide, or he can step out from behind his white coat and risk everything for love.

Randy Fuller does a great job although I’m not too sure about his Italian accent. His is a very easy voice to listen to. The story is an interesting story of a man who feels condemned to hide his sexuality by his job and his journey towards coming out of the closet. The characters are well drawn and certainly provoke the emotions. I could’ve cheerfully strangled Sergio on times. There was some heartbreak which had me reaching for the tissues. There is a lot of medical detail in this book which some may not find interesting but as I enjoy that sort of thing I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good narrator

This as they say is one book to keep and to listen to it many times over in the coming years. I think a lot of gay men, particularly of the older generation, will be able to relate to Zak in this story. His struggle with realising he is gay and learning to accept himself. Wondering how his professional colleagues and superiors would react if they only knew. The story is a bag of mixed emotions sadness, laughter, emotional pain, happiness, love relief. You will find it hard to put it down as every chapter, what will happen next. This is a very well written book not only a captivating true to life story but one you share every emotion. The story was brought to life by the wonderful expressive narrator who instills mannerisms, traits and personality of each and every character. I will be looking out for more books written by this author

What a Captivating Story of Mixed Emotions.
