About this listen
Bloomsbury presents And They Lived . . . by Steven Salvatore, read by Kirt Graves.
From the author of Can’t Take That Away comes a sex-positive, fairytale-inspired YA novel that celebrates first love and self-acceptance, perfect for fans of What If It’s Us.
"My heart didn't stand a chance. I loved it from once upon a time all the way to its joyfully complex ever after." – New York Times bestselling author Becky Albertalli
"A jolt of lightning to my soul. The characters are so bright, the emotion is so vibrant, and the love is exquisitely electric." – Jason June, author of Jay's Gay Agenda
Chase Arthur is a budding animator and hopeless romantic obsessed with Disney films and finding his true love, but he’s plagued with the belief that he’s not enough for anyone: he’s recovering from an eating disorder and suffers from body dysmorphia fueled by his father, and can’t quite figure out his gender identity. When Chase starts his freshman year of college, he has to navigate being away from home and missing his sister, finding his squad, and contending with his ex-best friend Leila who is gunning for the same exclusive mentorship. If only he can pull together a short for the freshman animation showcase at the end of the semester.
Then Chase meets Jack Reid, a pragmatic poet who worships words and longs to experience life outside of his sheltered world. But Chase throws everything into question for Jack, who is still discovering his sexual identity, having grown up in close-knit conservative family. Jack internalized a lot of homophobia from his parents and childhood best friend, who unexpectedly visit campus, which threatens to destroy their relationship. Chase will have to learn to love—and be enough for—himself, while discovering what it means to truly live.

Amazing LGBT Representation!
Amazing view into what it’s like to be non-binary and the struggles of having an eating disorder! Only thing I feel was a bit unexplored/explained was Jack’s internalized homophobia. Could’ve done more if similar to the authors last book there were alternating views. All in all I loved this book and it was a great read! Listened to it non stop until it was done. 10/10 would recommend!

First, Kirt Graves’ voice really does something for me haha!
Second, I really connected to this story about self discovery and love. Had really beautiful highs and dirty truthful lows. 😭

Simply amazing!
A beautiful queer love story that makes me wish I found my one. The writing is quite extraordinary so is the narrator who brings it to life in a real yet very moving way.
