Good follow up

Worthy sequel to the first book. 4/5
Afterglow — Phil Stamper (sequel to Golden Boys

Excellent Sequel

This was a really excellent sequel to Golden Boys. I finished listening to the first book right before this one came out, and it felt like a natural continuation of the story. The characters continue to be written beautifully, and I felt that we saw real growth in all four boys, alongside the vulnerability that comes with youth. It would definitely be great to get a third book that is their first year in college, but the ending here also really satisfies. Thank you, Phil Stamper!!
