Theoretically Perfect

Theoretically Straight, Book 2

By: Amy Bailey, Alexander C. Eberhart

Narrated by: Mark Sanderlin, Jacob Bell

Theo Briggs just wants to be perfect. The perfect son. The perfect friend. The perfect boyfriend.

But the harder he tries to keep up appearances, the more difficult juggling all of those expectations becomes. Where Theo usually turns to his faith for comfort, he now finds confusion and apathy.

Caleb Raynard finally has the boyfriend of his dreams. His and Theo's relationship may have gotten off to a rocky start, but now that they're settling into the realities of dating, surely things must be looking up? But something haunts Theo, driving an invisible wedge between them, and Caleb is desperate to figure out what it is.

When tensions flare during a tour of a haunted hotel, Theo must decide if he's ready to let down the walls he's constructed his entire life and allow Caleb to view the imperfection behind. And if he does peel away those layers, will Caleb still be able to love the boy underneath it all?

Theo and Caleb steer their relationship through doubts of faith, tested friendships, and self-discovery in this continuation of Theoretically Straight.

Strength

Such a perfect ending for this love story. To have the strenght to be true to yourself is hard, but fulfilling.

Theoretically Amazing!

Honestly- the book was so amazing, the Voice Actors really did a wonderful job embodying the characters! I really love how the book captures raw emotions, the awkwardness of sex when freshly out, and how religion and being yourself play into identity! Such a great book! I hope there’s more in the future!!

fav lgbtq series

i LOVED this, stranger things references made me smile every time. i loved it, however, i liked the first book more! might just be my opinion thoo

A sequel I didn't know I needed.

I usually get nervous about sequels, but this is SO good. It feels like a continuation of the first book which is what a good sequel should feel like. Listening to them one after another is highly recommended. The story gets so good when the father finally starts getting push back for his pushing religious beliefs over his own family. Again something I sort of relate too. Another 10/10

Better than the first!

It took me a while to make it through Theoretically Straight, but I did end up enjoying the story and made a connection to the characters. Theoretically Perfect did not have that issue. It was amazing from beginning to end and these characters grew exponentially throughout the book. I would love another story with all of them. I cannot recommend this book enough, it’s sweet, sad, exciting, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time

Love This!

Love the continuation of Theoretically Perfect. I love LGBTQ YA, but I love that these characters feel real. Its not just a full happy ending but realistic. Theo and Caleb make a great couple and hope to get more of these two as they grow.

Loved It

I have been waiting for Book 2 of Theoretically Straight since I finished it and this book didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed it so much. I honestly hope there is a third book

Great follow up

These sequels can sometimes be a boring mess. This was happily not one of those. Great follow up :)

It's a pretty good sequel

I loved the first book... and I'm mostly happy with the second book. The inner struggles got a little tedious, but I think that's because I'm a 40+ year-old that's a bit too tired to go on the back-and-forth emotional yo-yo that is adolescent love. It's worth a listen though :-) Great performances!

The raw, sweet, and passionate emotions of everybody is incredible.

Seeing the relationship between Theo and Caleb going through hardships and becoming stronger was heart warming at times, and crushing at others. No relationship will be perfect and this is beautiful displayed through the book. The performance of the narrators was astounding. Being able to feel so much emotion from their voices was indescribable. Overall this book is well worth the time and I can’t wait for the next!
