Publisher's Summary
When they were only teenagers, Axel and Caxton were caught making out in the woods at church camp. And afterward, Cax had disappeared from all the youth group activities.
Six years later Axel is astonished to spot his first love's face in the crowd of a college basketball game he's watching on television - at a school that has just offered him a job. It's a thousand miles away, in a tiny rural town. But suddenly he can't wait to get there.
Cax can't believe his eyes when Axel appears in the same Massachusetts town where he now lives. And he's still just as drawn to him as ever. But he can't let himself go there again, because loving Axel will mean giving up everything else he holds dear.
Both men have so much to lose. But as far as their love is concerned, it's Hello Forever.

I wish could last longer!
Honestly quite awesome and relatable story. So real it's almost so hard to listen to. The reality that a lot of gay people are treated like this including myself. Bullied and physically harassed just for who we are. So sad but also hopeful that the future is likely going to be better for LGBTQ+ people.
This book truly hit too close at home that I almost don't want to listen to it. Just bring so much bad memories but some good too.
Performance from Teddy Hamilton is truly superb as always. So much that it almost like watching a movie. The emotions, accents, intonations and details in his voice is absolutely perfect.
Dake Bliss on the other hand is again, less than ideal. He's not all bad but perhaps he's not just fit for this kind of format; as narrator that tries emulates multiple characters' voices.
Hearing Teddy Hamilton and then Dake Bliss is like Night and Day. The vastly different performances sometimes take me out of the story and hard to listen to at certain bits of the book.
I truly think if Teddy Hamilton narrated the whole book. It would have been perfect.
However I truly appreciate Dake Bliss for narrating anyway. I know a lot of narrators would not even think or consider performing for a book about gay men or the LGBTQ+ in general.
In any case, this book and especially the previous book: Goodbye Paradise is absolutely incredible. I almost feel like this two books wrote just for me because of how much I can relate. From the characters' childhood up to their adulthood.
It's like listen to the story of my life. it's painful listening to it that I almost want to tear up but it gives me hope at the same time.
Thank you so much Sarina Bowen for this two fantastic yet very relatable book. It's truly incredible.
Of course I couldn't thank the narrator of this audio book which brought to life by his performance.
Teddy Hamilton truly made this book alive. Each chapter narrated by him is like seeing colours for the first time.
Dake Bliss brings a different side of the story even if it's less ideal sometimes. He has so much potential and so much yet learn.
I only hope and wish the best for both them.

Touching
Another touching and emotional story by Sarina. A little less crying over this than book one, but still very deep.
I love a second chance romance. Especially one that involves a deeply closeted man who sees no path to being able to come out.
Cax and Axel were boys when they were caught kissing. They lost all contact after that. Until years later when they end up at the same college. Still feeling the same pull to the other as when they were kids.
These two walk a fine line between rekindling their love and trying to fight it. With a lot at stake if they are found out, tension is high.
I love when someone finds the strength to be themselves.

Terrible narration (not Hamilton)
It almost feels like a sick joke having these two narrators working on the same book. I get so into the story when Teddy Hamilton is on, then the other guy takes over and I almost want to just cut my loses on this one. The choice of that second narrator certainly doesn't do this book any favors.

it was something.
the premise of the book is good but I felt like I was trapped in surfer hippie relationship of two high school kids as apposed to the two adults they were supposed to be.
