About this listen

What if you accidentally fell in love with the right guy?

Andy:

If my life was a movie, I would be the sidekick. Not an especially promising start when my plan is to finally let my best friend know I have a crush on him. I just need a complete makeover. Change everything about myself so that when Falcon returns from his summer vacation, he can finally see I'm the love of his life. If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't look like every nerd cliche wrapped into one awkward package. In short, I'm screwed. But then Law Anderson enters the picture . . .

Law:

I need somebody to tutor my hockey team, and Andy needs somebody to help him with his crush. Only the more time I spend with Andy, the more I like this quirky guy who makes me laugh, and pretty soon I'm the one who's tutoring Andy in way more than we initially agreed upon. But as weeks pass and the chemistry between us turns explosive, I'm starting to think that I might be in way over my head with Andy. If only I could make Andy realize that he doesn't need to change himself for love. If only I could make Andy see that he just needs to be with somebody who has considered him perfect all along . . .

Briar Prescott’s Project Hero is a very rare find – a book in which the protagonist is an autistic gay man. Given that autistic people are more likely than neurotypical people to be gay, there really should be more books like this.

As far as I can recall the author never mentions autism or related words but many listeners on the autistic spectrum will recognise themselves in Andy. As they would their yearnings to be accepted, to love and be loved.

I don’t think Andy knows he’s autistic. He mentions that he’s weird, he only has one friend, some wardrobe issues and does not like crowds (to name but a few characteristics). These do not bother him – it is just the way he is – but when it comes to love and lust, he gets confused and his problems with reading other people become problematic.

Although unusual in having an autistic lead, the rest of the book follows the familiar pattern of the romantic novel genre and offers pleasant escapism. It is competently written and narrated, but I would especially recommend it because it is funny and relatable, which makes it especially enjoyable to listen to.
