About this listen

One clueless single dad...

Dr. Corbin Davis is a busy guy just trying to do his best as a single parent. He may be oblivious to a lot of things, but surely he would’ve noticed something as important as his 15-year-old son Grayson being bullied, right? And what the heck is nonbinary, and why hasn’t Gray shared this all-important part of himself with his own dad?

Plus one sassy Southerner...

Andy Ferguson, or Kandi as the Thursday night drag community knows him, is just trying to get along in a small town and hold things together while he takes care of his beloved Gam-Gam. If she’d just get off his back about finding himself a man, that would be fantastic, thank you very much. He’ll get around to love...one of these days.

Equals a pair of fake boyfriends who will keep you in stitches.

When Corb gets the wild idea to ask Andy to pose as his boyfriend to let Gray know that his dad is bisexual and open-minded enough to talk to about his nonbinary status, Andy is amused and just intrigued enough to say yes...especially since he seems to be in the market for a fake boyfriend himself, if it will get Gam-Gam to quit nagging.

I really enjoy Susi Hawke books and was interested to see what she would do on the contemporary side. I gotta say I like it and I can't wait to read more. Michael Pauley is amazing, and there's nothing he can't bring to life. He certainly knocked this out of the park

Awesome book, fantastically performed

The book starts off with Andy and his gran bantering/sassing each other, and that pretty much sets the tone for this fun, heartwarming story.
Andy is a barista, but once a week he turns into Kandi, his drag alter ego. At his coffee shop job, he has been crushing on Corbin, a widowed dad with a teenage son, Gray. Gray is going through a gender identity crisis, so Corbin uses this as way to get Andy's help and if he somehow gets to know Kandi-Andy better, bonus!

Michael Pauley knows how to do sass! And other emotions :) I had a lot of fun listening to him bring the characters to life. In my opinion, this is probably the better way to truly appreciate the humour, sense of family, friendship and love that is seen throughout the story.
It is always a pleasure to listen to Mr. Pauley; and this is no exception. I hope to there will be more of the series, especially in audio.

Good start to a new series!

When I read this book I loved it, to listen to it was so very much better. Corbin is at a lost over his sons behaviour he needs help understanding him enter Andy who is not shy at all, lots of great funny moments which made me laugh out loud many times, it's a joy to listen too, Michael Pauley was so enjoyable to listen to especially his take on Andy, as always his take on all the characters was entertaining, this will be listened to again by myself I really enjoyed it.

Entertaining

Absolutely loved this book! Just the right amount of angst for my mood (some but not making me ball my eyes out) I adored Andy and Corbin as the MC's but also Gray and Mama Honey have stolen my heart!
Michael Pauley you are a bloody genius:-) Mama Honey almost made me wet myself laughing.
Michael had alot of important side characters all who were very different and he did a fantastic job. Brilliant book, brilliant narration, totally worth a precious credit!

So funny & cute!
