Theoretically Straight

Theoretically Straight, Book 1

De: Amy Bailey, Alexander C. Eberhart

Narrado por: Mark Sanderlin, Jacob Bell

Theo Briggs is a rule follower.

He's a decent student in his junior year, an appeasing son, and a lifelong Christian, just trying to make it through high school unscathed… and maybe create a viral video in the process.

Caleb Raynard is a romantic. One of the few out-and-proud kids at Specter High School, Caleb's dating life has been hellish, to say the least—fraught with misread social cues and embarrassing situations—and Caleb is about ready to call the whole thing off.

When Theo and Caleb meet in the basement of an old Catholic church that's rumored to be haunted, an instant and electric connection forms between them. The more time Theo spends around Caleb, the more he suspects that something may have followed him home from that haunted church. But was it a ghost… or something else entirely? It can't be a crush. Theo is straight, right?

As Theo and Caleb find themselves drawn together at every opportunity, the two must overcome their own hesitations and decide if the feelings they have for one another are stronger than the obstacles set in their way.

I wasn’t expecting this to be as enjoyable as it was

I have to admit that I didn’t have super high expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised. Was a very sweet funny story

Super sweet and lovely

This book is absolutely wonderful it really shows how rough it can be to be in a religion that doesn’t support how you are and how a toxic relationship can make it harder to fully accept yourself. The way the author goes about it really brings you into Theo’s troubles and his struggles making the reader hang on to the edge of their seat rooting that it will get better for him and that he gets a romantic completion near the end which is what we got. This book gave me so many emotions and am going to recommend this book!

Probably Should Have Content Warnings...

I really liked the story and REALLY hope there's a second, but be warned if you have religious trauma and/or coming out trauma (there's probably a real name for that) just be warned. There were spots that were both hard to hear (even after more than 15 years) and super relatable, actually pretty much the whole book. Also, one of the narrators sounds like a newscaster and it's pretty distracting. Little dispassionate during super sweet parts. Please write a another, and thanks for the story.

Theoretically straight

If you guys are looking for for a play twist love , who supports each other through their is and down this is for you , being able to be there selves was the best part . Realizing that just because you like the opposite sex does not make you less of a Christian

Self Discovery

Absolutely loved listening to this book. I started it at the beginning of my shift and finished it just now. I’m really hoping the Sequel Theoretically Perfect gets put on Audible 🫶🏼

Omg

SO GOOD WHY FIDNT I READ THIS SOONER I WABT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might read it again

I enjoyed this!

I can’t recommend it enough! The narrators, Mark Sanderlin and Jacob Bell, did a fantastic job of bringing the characters of Theo and Caleb to life. Their performances really enhanced the emotional depth of the story.

Theo’s character growth throughout the book is truly impressive. Watching him navigate his identity and feelings is both relatable and inspiring. The romance between Theo and Caleb is adorably cute, filled with sweet moments that made me smile. Their chemistry is palpable, and you can’t help but root for them.

I’m left eagerly anticipating the next installment! If you’re looking for a heartfelt coming-of-age story with strong character development and a delightful romance, this is the book for you.

Another great story 🫶

Well, another unexpected jewel 💎 in my library 📚. Initially, I thought it was going to be a mediocre story, but the authors and narrators proved me wrong. I enormously enjoyed a slow pace of the relationships between Theo and Caleb until the end of the book

Trauma Healing

this audio book was well performed and the story was healing in a way I didn't know I needed

Great Teen Romance

Proud of the handling of Gay youth in a book. Showing a diverse group of kids moving through life. The struggle of a boys life in a world of religious persecution for being who he is was done with an honest feel.
