Summary
The struggle is real.
Nick Stahlnecker is 18 and not ready to grow up yet. He has a summer job, a case of existential panic, and a hopeless crush on the unattainable Jai Hazenbrook. Except how do you know that your coworker's unattainable unless you ask to blow him in the porta-potty?
That's probably not what dad meant when he said Nick should act more like an adult.
Twenty-five-year-old Jai is back in his hometown of Franklin, Ohio, just long enough to earn the money to get the hell out again. His long-term goal of seeing more of the world is worth the short-term pain of living in his mother's basement, but only barely.
Meeting Nick doesn't fit in with Jai's plans at all, but, as Jai soon learns, you don't have to travel halfway around the world to have the adventure of a lifetime.
This is not a summer romance. This is a summer friendship-with-benefits. It's got pizza with disgusting toppings, Netflix and chill, and accidental exhibitionism. That's all. There are no feelings here. None. Shut up.

Another Beauty from Lisa Henry.
This was like therapy to my soul. Sweet and wonderful I didn't want it to end. Loved all the characters, even the background ones and loved Jai. Nick was written so well, so believably flawed and human. He could've easily been annoying but Lisa handled his issues and his endearing personality so well it just made me love him more. Their relationship developed gradually and the end was lovely. Another masterpiece from Lisa, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Will definitely listen again :)

Great fun- A bromance and M/M goofy romance
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It was lighthearted fluff, but well written, funny fluff. The narration was great and so listening was just pure entertainment.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Probably Nick's best friend Devon. Because even though he's straight he loves Nick for who he is and tells him all the time. He's Nick's snuggle buddy and I find that vision adorable.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The clumsy, awkward sex scenes were great fun.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.

Audio Review
Can I just say that Nick J Russo has done a truly amazing job of narrating one of my fave reads of 2016?? So much so that this has gone onto my superb audio narration bookshelf....and there will be repeat listens too. Brilliant!!
Book Review
Aah, the precious!! [sorry, had to get that in there, hehe] Well, we've got so many pop culture references in this story, including the trip at the end which is definitely on my bucket list!! The Matrix, Star Wars, Harry Potter, LOTR...just perfect. 5 stars from me for this light, fluffy and adorable read from Lisa. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!! LOVED Nick's bro Devon, and as for Jai, well he has his head screwed on properly, and I'm sure will look after Nick as best he can. They made a really cute couple.

A beautiful story
Really enjoyed the book and narration. Nick is 18 on Summer break before College. His dad has gotten him a job in the office of a Construction co where he lusts over 25 year old Jai. He offers a BJ to Kai and gets caught and they both lose their jobs. They decide to be buddies for the next 10 weeks neither realising that in that time everything would change
