About this listen

I found a little notebook, but it isn't the address book I was looking for. It's a...it's a journal. I kept a journal! I begin to read, and the first date goes back to less than three years ago - I read things that don't make sense.

I love him so much! I don't think I could've survived what I did to my mom if it wasn't for him. He is always there for me and thank God for that.

I move a few pages down to a later date's entry and find more comments about a man. A man I supposedly love.

The therapist wants me to tell him about my past, but how exactly do you tell the man you love that your mother is dead because of you? How do I tell the man I love that the reason I refuse to call my dad is because of the shame and guilt I've been carrying around?

I stop reading. So many questions are making my head hurt. What did I do that killed my mom? Who the hell is he? Could it be Scotland? He often acts as if he loves me, but I still think he's keeping secrets from me. Who can I trust after the accident that took my memory away?

Is he really just my roommate?

Meant to Be Gay is a gay story with mature content intended for 18+. This story mentions mental illness and suicide.

The friends to lovers trope is one of my favorites in the romance genre, but this one gives it a really fresh new twist due to Mason's amnesia. Here, we have a lovers to friends to lovers story that is both heartbreaking as we watch Scotland have to hide what he and Mason are to each other, all the while supporting him all he can in his recovery. Their new relationship develops in a lovely fashion and J. R. Pyfferoen does a magnificent job of portraying all the emotional ups and downs of the story.

Super addition by Lara Hale. Mason and Scotland are interesting characters and it was a joy to follow their story. RJ Pyfferoen did a great job with the narration. Hope to find many more stories by Lara Hale on Audible.

This is such an emotional story. Mason is in an accident and loses his memory. Since he is engaged to be married that makes things a little hard for Scotland his fiancée. Scotland is waiting for Mason’s memory to return and things get a little painful. Mason feels Scotland is keeping secrets. Scotland just wants to help Mason and things get a little edgy. The narration by J.R. Pyfferoen brought these two characters to life. I feel the audio version gives the story so much more depth.

Meant to Be Gay is a contemporary romance about two engaged men who find themselves in soap opera levels of drama when Mason loses his memory after a bad car crash. This completely throws Scotland, Mason’s finance, into unchartered territory. How do you live with a man who no longer remembers you? This is a question that Scotland struggles with as he tries to support Mason’s recovery while also grieving for the lost relationship. But not all hope is lost—both Scotland and Mason soon find that they can have a second chance at love with each other. Meant to be Gay is the second book in the Moving Forward series, but can be read as a standalone. However, I highly suggest reading the first book because familiar faces make a cameo in this book.

I really liked this book – it was fun and heartwarming. There were some medical inaccuracies, but those were easy to overlook and just go with the flow of the story. I’m glad that the author focused on Mason’s rediscovery of self and the way Mason and Scotland’s relationship changed and morphed, but never truly faltered. I became invested in Mason and Scotland’s happy ever after, and the author delivered the sweetest ending to a romantic story. I’m definitely looking forward to more books in the series.
