About this listen

Movie star 101: A smile hides all pain.

Quellcrist King has been playing a part his entire life. The more famous he becomes, the more he hides. The only person he ever let see the real him rose with him from nothing to the very top.

They were the king and queen of Hollywood - and then she wanted a divorce. The only way to survive his depression is to bury himself in work. If he can be a character, maybe he won't have to remember himself. A gay role can't be any different than playing a straight one, can it?

But instead of finding solace in the character, he finds it in his costar. Hale becomes his best friend, his lifeline, the light in his darkness. Quell is forced to examine everything he thought he knew about himself while filming intimate scenes with Hale that feel more real than anything ever has before.

He's lived his entire life following the script. What would life be like unscripted?

Contains mature themes.

Story so good two hours in I bought the next two but I think dual narration makes the characters less believable because you associate a voice presentation with a character and then in the next chapter that absorption into the character is gone. Also sorry but not a fan of Joel’s OTT delivery. It smacks of pantomime dame

Story grips you but dual narration, mmhh

Quell and Hale's story is realistic and heartfelt. It's even more challenging when you have a relationship with a spouse who makes your depression worse.
Quell didn't tell his wife about his feelings, but that's beside the point. Despite knowing about his illness, she was still selfish and never cared about his wellbeing. Hale was exactly what Quell needed, he really cared about him, and their chemistry was incredible.
It's definitely a slow burn romance, but the build was great. However, I wasn't satisfied with the ending. It was rushed. I would have liked to have seen more of them together.

This is a heartwarming slow burn romance

I struggled with the narration a bit since the two narrators didn't even try to sound different for the other character. I think this would have been best done as a dual narration.

lovely lovestory

This was a glacially slow burn that was only bearable because the story and characters were very good and the narration was excellent

Good slow burn
