A Really Gay Book

A Really Gay Villain Christmas Series, Book 1

By: Zile Elliven

Narrated by: Zachary Zaba

The first book in history (probably) in a Christmas series to not be about Christmas!

Apple:

I have the best luck ever, it’s terrible. You want it? It’s yours.

But ask yourself:

Do you like being bored all the time because there are no challenges ever?

Do you like being surrounded by people because no one will ever leave you alone? (Even in the bathroom, you’ll need to invest in some really good locks.)

Do you want to be a virgin for the rest of your life because no one thinks they’re good enough for you?

No? Me either!

Adam:

I have the worst luck ever, It’s terrible. You want it? It’s yours.

You get a lot of scars out of the deal.

The campus darling is annoying.

And beautiful.

And smells like a garden after the rain. He’s the worst.

And he’s a muffin thief.

F**k that guy.

A Really Gay Book is set in the A Really Gay Villain Christmas series. It’s a 30,000-word enemies-to-lovers story with possessiveness, extreme size difference, steamy times, and found family. (What’s a little bit of evil among family, right?)

Quirky World

I really love how quirky this world is. There are people with supernaturally good and bad luck. There are sword fights and "super" villains. Apple and Adam definitely experience some insta-love which I was here for. And I am excited to learn more about the other roommates in the future.

The narrator did a great job giving people different voices and bringing the action to light.

'Tis a charming tale! ❤️🤣

Fun story about the overly lucky and the unlucky turning their luck around. I love how it's trying to be dark, but it's just so fluffy. 😆 Apple and Adam are adorable. I laughed all the way through listening to this book. It's super cute!
The narrator is awesome. ❤️

Beyond Fun!

This was such a fun book to listen to! It's full of Insta-Everything, Silliness, Steam, Good-Bad Guys, Good/Bad Luck, and good stalking (it actually is.) Plus Puns... think, Apple and Adam...

Plus, the Narration by Zachary Zaba was on point. He brings the characters and the world to life, infusing thim with all of the things that make this such a fun read.

I highly recommend people read this "for the sake of Pancakes."

Wonderfully whimsical and frecking hilarious!

MM Romance - Insta Attraction (on one side) - Himbo meets Grump - Obsessed & Unhinged MCs

Wonderfully whimsical and fucking hilarious! The weirdness of this short book caught me completely off guard. And despite the series having the word Christmas in the name, Christmas was never mentioned, not even hinted at. 😀

Everything is OTT, everything from the obsessive MCs and how them being near each other creates some cosmic balance to the crazy bunch of people Adam lives with. Apple is both an adorable himbo and bat shit crazy. And: he is on a mission! Adam's not exactly Apple's kind of crazy but he obviously has some issues too. 😂

If you're looking for a short book, intense characters, a good laugh and some smexy times - this is it!

The only thing I didn't like was the constant use of the fourth wall break. It didn't feel as out of place as it often does but it was still overused.

Fun, cute, easy listen

I love everything I have read so far by Zile and this audiobook is no exception. It's cute, low angst, and just generally a great way to pass the time while cleaning the house.

Just a heartwarming story about luck (and bad luck) and love (plus lust) and villains (but not really)

Loved the story, insta-love, size difference, banter and absurd situations are my drug. There’s spice, laughter and the start of great new world building. Can’t wait for the next!

Easy and enjoyable read

Very hilarious, cute and quick read! I absolutely adore this author and the characters they come up with!
