À propos de cet audio
In this companion to Openly Straight, Ben confronts pressure at school, repression at home, and his passion for two very different people in figuring out what it takes to be Honestly Ben.
Ben Carver is back to normal. He's working steadily in his classes at the Natick School. He just got elected captain of the baseball team. He's even won a full scholarship to college, if he can keep up his grades. All that foolishness with Rafe Goldberg the past semester is in the past.
Except...there's Hannah, the gorgeous girl from the neighboring school, who attracts him and distracts him. There's his mother, whose quiet unhappiness Ben is noticing for the first time. School is harder, the pressure higher, the scholarship almost slipping away. And there's Rafe, funny, kind, dating someone else...and maybe the real normal that Ben needs.
Perfect for fans of David Levithan, Andrew Smith, and John Green, Honestly Ben is a smart, laugh-out-loud novel that will speak to anyone who's struggled to be "honestly ____" in some part of their lives.

"Dan Bittner's narration develops the unique personality of 17-year-old Ben, a secondary character in Konigsberg's earlier book Openly Straight.... In this follow-up, Bittner quickly reveals Ben's intelligence and introspection.... In a complex portrait, Bittner captures Ben's confused central conflict - is he gay, or straight, or is he only 'gay-for-Rafe'? Keeping the plot engaging, Bittner highlights Ben's search for his identity." (AudioFile)

Just great.
I bought this right after finishing Openly Straight, I loved the story, the characters from Openly Straight, and was fully hyped to continue to follow the journey Bill Konigsberg wanted to tell. I had some anxiety about the novel following Ben instead of Rafe, but I trusted Konigsberg and bought it.
It was the right choice. Just as good as Openly Straight, this expanded the characters, had the same comedic energy, and allowed up to see into the mind of Ben, to see how he thinks, how he comprehends life.
This story was amazing, following after Openly Straight, It was great, the characters were portrayed amazingly, following the struggle, and emotions Ben has to go through following the events of the first novel was amazing. Highly recommend if you enjoyed Openly Straight.

Glad I purchased it!
I really enjoyed Openly Straight, and I was a bit reluctant to get Honesty Ben, as sequels are often a letdown. I was also concerned that it changed from Rafe’s perspective to Ben’s. I was pleasantly surprised.
I don’t want to post any spoilers, so I’ll just say it was great to see how things developed with the characters and to see more depth into Ben’s character, and to see how...magenta he is.
I’m sad to see that the author doesn’t plan a third book with these characters.
