About this listen

For five years, Zach Tyler, son of one of the world’s richest software moguls, was held hostage, tortured, and abused. When he is rescued at last from the Venezuelan jungle, he is physically and psychologically shattered, but he slowly begins to rebuild the life he should have had before an innocent kiss sent him into hell.

His childhood best friend David has lived those years with overwhelming guilt and grief. Every relationship David has tried has fallen apart because of his feelings for a boy he thought dead. When Zach is rescued, David is overjoyed - and then crushed when Zach shuts him out. Two years later, David returns home, and he and Zach must come to terms with the rift between them, what they feel for each other, and what their future could hold. But Zach has secrets, and one of them might well destroy their fragile love.

Heartwarmingly great

The mental and emotional struggles that Zach goes through in this story was made so vividly clear through the words of Rowan Soeedwell. Other similar storylines I’ve read felt too clinically described Speedwell keeps it from the character’s perspective and it makes the story so real.

returned this title, story nothing like the sample

I was drawn into the story straight away but the longer it went on, the less engaging and believable it was. From the 2D perfect parents (always there, together, united and saying the right thing, and for some reason always in this adult man's therapy sessions and earnestly asking about how he felt about being SA and killing a dude, leading him to realize it was culpable homicide not murder, all fixed, thanks mom!). Zach just came across as very immature, and the endless bants between him and David didn't fit with the dark start of the story. I guess after how the book began I was expecting a more serious, angsty, psychological tale of recovery and rebuilding not just.. apple pie moments and "funny" texts and back and forths and a very miraculous recovery for Zach. I haven't finished. EDIT TO ADD I am requesting to return this title, I just can't get through it. Very naive and uninformed take on trauma and SA, huge time skips where Zach goes from feral dog to regular member of society etc etc. I hated everyone in this book but esp the parents and David. Only got 30% through, apparently it gets worse.
