About this listen

Gustavo Tiberius is not normal. He knows this. Everyone in his small town of Abby, Oregon, knows this. He reads encyclopedias every night before bed. He has a pet ferret called Harry S. Truman. He owns a video rental store that no one goes to. His closest friends are a lady named Lottie with drag queen hair and a trio of elderly Vespa riders known as the We Three Queens.

Gus is not normal. And he's fine with that. All he wants is to be left alone.

Until Casey, an asexual stoner hipster and the newest employee at Lottie's Lattes, enters his life. For some reason, Casey thinks Gus is the greatest thing ever. And maybe Gus is starting to think the same thing about Casey, even if Casey is obsessive about Instagramming his food.

But Gus isn't normal and Casey deserves someone who can be. Suddenly wanting to be that someone, Gus steps out of his comfort zone and plans to become the most normal person ever.

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

I must have listened to this book about 10 times already and it's still makes me laugh. it's just amazing, the story is perfect, the narration is fantastic. I'm so glad that there's a second book now, which is just as good.

love it

With this book, TJ Klune has reignited in me a love for the gay romance. The characters here are in no way cookie cutter or the sort of cut and past personalities that seem to be used in this strain of fiction that I have read over the past years. Here the individuals live and on more than one occasion I had a twinge in my chest, a catch in my throat, or tear of joy attempting to escape the corner of my eye. Gus embodied every awkward feeling and action that all of us feel to some degree, and who hasn't used the internet to research a perceived upcoming problem, Oh just me then. I haven't felt this way with characters in fiction since 'The Front Runner', which I read when that burst onto the literary scene back in the mid-seventies. This is on to take to your heart.

Relate-able feels

Oh Gustavo, what can I say.....I was rooting for him from the beginning. What a fabulous character and a super human being. Casey is so imperfectly perfect for him and their crowd of friends are lovably bonkers! A fantastic supporting cast.

TJ’s character development is second to none, he takes you through every emotion whilst you fall in love with everyone involved. I gobble up everything he writes, each book or series completely different but with that TJ excellence shining through.

Derrick McClain is a new narrator for me and I thought he was fabulous. His stoned and sweet Casey voice was fab.

I’m desperately now waiting for the release of How to be a Movie Star which I know will be another corker!

TJ is a true Genius!
