A must listen to YA audiobook!

Compelling story for YA lgbt listeners, with a nice audio note conversation between authors and narrator at the end.

Is this my 10th time reading this baby?

Autoboyography, is just another CLo masterpiece.👏🙌
Whether you have read their books before or not this is A MUST READ!!
This coming of age novel has it all, so many swoon worthy moments, many heartbreaking moments, and most of all so many loving moments.
It's a story about finding yourself, falling in love, and most of all showing your love for friends and families and faith.💚💜💖

I was anticipating this read for so long and it was much worth the wait!! Christina Lauren have outdone themselves once again with such a loving, warming story, that I will for sure keep for the vast future and get my unborn children to read😂

Below are some of my very swoon worthy moment quotes and also pg109 really made *swoooonn* hard but if you wanna know why you better check out the book!! 💓
Speaking of the book the cover itself is a beauty, it had to be said!
All I can say is READ IT READ IT LOVE IT LOVE IT AND READ IT (also spread the word and get other teens and adults to read it as it is just amazing)!!!!!😻

'A mountain. Our hike. He's in his room, maybe thinking about our hike.'🗻

'...Sebastian texts me before bed with a simple snowy mountain-top emoji and it's kerosene dumped on the flickering candle in my chest.' ,🗻😍

'The door swings open, and the sight of him sucks every bit of oxygen in the porch.'💞

'It's not his first kiss - I know that - but it's his first real one.'👬💕

Beautiful Story

Listened to it all on one day. It is one of the most amazing books I've ever read. The story line is beautiful and gripping throughout. Definitely recommend.

A little bit heartbreaking

It took me a little while to get into the style of it but stick with it, because when you’re in, it’s really great.

The challenges in the book are heartbreaking - I really felt for the characters with the decisions and sacrifices they have to make. Beautifully told and narrated.

Mediocre

I was captivated, listening to this. It was a pleasant experience. She story is predictable and nothing original. The narration was pleasant although I was sometimes not sure if I was listening to Seb or Tanner. But that did not really confuse me as they are interchangeable.

Biggest annoyance was the last half hour where an amateurish recording is added with a conversation between both authors and both narrators. The audio quality was abominable and I absolutely was not in the mood for some loud, shallow chit-chat after finishing a romance.

Beautiful sensitiv coming of age story

Firts of all! Fantastic narration!!! Kyle Mason had just a tiney part, but it was a really good experience.

Although I'm not a fan of angst coming from the religious background (I find it pretty triggering and not a fan of religions all together), I found it easyer to handle as a listener/reader as LDS was not demonised. It made just a little less angsty.

I loved Tanner's charachter so much, and I was confused by the change of POV and third-person narrative but the chat at the beginning between Authors and Narrator calrified it. It's in a "call" quality but don't shy away, it really pleasent and informative :)

My patience for Sebastian was degrading towards the end, I really wanted to break sg. or yell when listening though...although his behaviour feels of course realistic, it made me enjoying the book less, hence the 4 star for the story...this tango back and forth made me upset.

Started good then went down hill

I was enjoying this book to begin with, and then the pace started to slow so I got a bit distracted and frustrated with it, then towards the end it’s as if the author didn’t quite finish the book. The tense and grammar was fine for most of it, then it bizarrely went to the third person for several chapters and it was really difficult to feel connected to the story and I got sick of hearing Sebastian thought this, and Sebastian that. Then the books was rushed at the end tied up in a sloppy bow, the end. What a waste of a potentially great story. Did they just forget it was an early draft or something?

ADDED NOTE: I continued listening to hear the author/narrator interview and it turns out the third person change was intentional. You’re supposed to view it as a summary of what happens after. I really don’t think that worked. Instead there was a good story that just wasn’t finished, so I really can’t give it a better rating.

Couldn't finish it.

I just wasn't into this one. I decided half way through to quit the book, and save my time.
I just couldn't connect with the characters, and the narrator's voice was not to my liking.
