Summary
Israel Ingham's life has never been easy. He grew up in a house devoid of love and warmth. Nothing he ever did was good enough. The fact that Israel is gay just added to the long list of his father's disappointments.
Then a letter from Eastport Children's Hospital changes everything.
A discovery is made, one of gross human error. Twenty-six years ago, two baby boys were switched at birth and sent home with the wrong families.
Sam, Israel's best friend, has been his only source of love and support. With Sam beside him every step of the way, Israel decides to meet his birth mother and her son, the man who lived the life Israel should have.
Israel and Sam become closer than ever, amidst the tumultuous emotions of meeting his birth family, and Sam finds himself questioning his feelings toward his best friend. As Israel embraces new possibilities, he needs to dissect his painful relationship with his parents in order to salvage what's left. Because sometimes it takes proof you're not actually family to become one.
Contains mature themes.

Seriously Fabulous Book
Deep and meaningful book with a beautiful relationship and some realistic reactions and behaviour.
Perfectly put together, really well executed and sweet love story with huge amounts of emotional processing around family and relationships. Good to have more books where the characters happen to be gay, but it’s not the crux of the story.

Beautiful story with tons of emotions
I found N.R. Walker through the Spencer Cohen series and I really enjoy her writing style. Her characters are fully fledged and dynamic. The men in her stories aren't afraid to show emotions. Her writing often takes the listener on an emotional rollercoaster and wrings out all the emotions from them. I for one am happy to oblige. This story was no different. I loved both Sam and Israel and their beautiful friendship.
🎧 Joel Leslie has become one of my favourite narrators. His ability to bring the characters alive with his wonderful narration and to make the listener feel every emotion the author is trying to convey makes for a memorable experience.

Hmm
Enjoyed the book, it's all Israel discovering who he is; dealing with his family and the sudden attraction he feels to his best friend. I want a friend like Sam!
As an audio though, listening for too long a time is tiring. Not the best Australian accent and an overwrought performance. Seriously, all that emotion in packed into every sentence! Character voices are a bit odd, combined with the accent deeper ones don't sound natural and the women... are there really no Australian narrators out there?
