About this listen

Jordan O'Neill isn't a fan of labels, considering he has a few. Gay, geek, a librarian, socially awkward, a nervous rambler, an introvert, an outsider. The last thing he needs is one more. But he when he realizes adding the label "asexual" might explain a lot, it turns his world upside down.

Hennessy Lang moved to Surry Hills after splitting with his boyfriend. His being asexual had seen the end of a lot of his romances, but he's determined to stay true to himself. Leaving his North Shore support group behind, he starts his own in Surry Hills, where he meets first-time-attendee Jordan.

A little bewildered and scared, but completely adorable, Hennessy is struck by this guy who's trying to find where he belongs. Maybe Hennessy can convince Jordan that his world hasn't been turned upside down at all, but maybe it's now - for the first time in his life - the right way up.

As usual NR Walker fails to disappoint. Her characters are well drawn so I soon felt I knew them. I want to travel the bus to work with them every day. They have both suffered in previous relationships but travelling on the same bus route to work opens up new horizons for them and their fellow travellers. Jordan suffers from an inability to avoid using bad language so if that is something you can’t live then this won’t be for you. The two main characters are asexual so again if you like your romance filled with sex then you’ll need to avoid this one but if you like a good chuckle and your heart strings pulled then this definitely should be in your library. Glen Lloyd is the perfect narrator for this. He gives each character their own voice with ease and handles both male and female voices believably. Add this one to your library now.

Funny and touching

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as great as the ebook

I loved this book, so as soon as it came out on audible I leapt on it. I read and listen to a lot of books and after a while, they all start to merge into one but this book is so memorable. I read it over and over and listened to it from start to finished it in one go. It's fast becoming my go to book on a bad day.
The characters are so engaging, I really want the best for them all. I love that all the drama comes from inside the characters. The side characters are also wonderful and I hope that we see more from this world.
NR Walker has taken a subject that can be confusing for some and explained it beautifully, with humour and heart.

Very lovely story, great ace representatives, and good narration. Has elements of a textbook on asexuality at times, and the main MC's word vomit was a bit intense at times, but overall, I liked it a lot; the audio book equivalent of a nice hot choc and a snuggly blanket on a cold day at home!

Sweet, informative and engaging
