About this listen

Two brothers. Two different journeys. The same hope of a magnificent future.

At twenty-nine, Jake D'Arcy has finally got his life just right. Job with prospects: check. Steady girlfriend: check. Keeping his exhausting, boisterous family at bay: check. So why isn't he happier?

When his confident, much-adored younger brother Trick comes out as gay to a rapturous response, Jake realises he has questions about his own repressed bisexuality, and that he can't wait any longer to find his answers.

As Trick begins to struggle with navigating the murky waters of adult relationships, Jake must confront himself and those closest to him. He's beginning to believe his own life could be magnificent, if he can be brave enough to make it happen.

Tedious and slow

OMG you listen through insignificant drivel to get to some interest and then back to drivel.

There is so much story that has no interest to where you want the book to go.

To me the whole plot is focused on one character and his coming out but we have hours of content and character development that has no bearing on this part of the story.

I am 6 hours in with over four to go and don’t think I can make it further.

The narrator performance is of the best in audio book industry but the story is slow and too much drivel.
