Marc meets Hunter, a hunky cyclist who is his perfect match. As if overwhelming temptation wasn't enough, the pair is faced with an old nemesis from back home.

Publisher's Summary
Toby Riester is 16, gay, and searching for his first boyfriend. He discovers many potential candidates - Orlando, a cute 16-year-old Hispanic boy who works with Toby at the Phantom World amusement park; CT, a blond 17-year-old who is obviously gay; and Spike, a well-built 16-year-old from the internet.
Each boy has his own seductive qualities, and each is more than his seems, but one of them is far more dangerous than Toby ever guessed. Orlando finds a girlfriend at Phantom World, but that’s only the beginning of his story. When he meets his girlfriend’s gorgeous twin brother Kerry, his world is turned upside down.
Mackenzie Riester is the athletic younger brother of Toby. He has little respect for his queer big brother and joins with his newfound friend Billy in playing an elaborate practical joke on Toby that becomes perilous.
Phantom World is the story of three very different boys - their triumphs, heartaches, and search for love and acceptance.

Emotional and varied, if slighthly outdated
Liked this a lot. Apparently published in 2004, the book contains more gay-related angs and aggression than many newer queer YA books, but somehow the overall mood was still positive and exiting. Couldn't help sympathizing with the three main characters. Anthony Rodriguez's voice and enthusiastic reading was wonderful, especially as Toby.

I need to figure out if he feels the same, so I email an advice column written by a serial dater, who's just as annoying as Shaw.

Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. She’s never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. She’s never even been kissed. And it’s not just because she’s gay. It’s because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world. So when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. Those parties aren’t for kids like them. They’re for cool kids. Straight kids. But then, Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 125
Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. She’s never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. She’s never even been kissed. And it’s not just because she’s gay. It’s because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world. So when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. Those parties aren’t for kids like them. They’re for cool kids. Straight kids. But then, Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy.

After spending the first part of my life trapped in a small town where it wasn’t okay to be a makeup-wearing boy who liked boys, I swore I’d leave and never be anything but loud, proud, and unapologetically me. I’ve kept that promise. I’m following my dreams, have an apartment with my bestie, and get to dance my nights away at one of the hottest gay bars in Portland.

This award-winning series from LJ Evans should come with a warning label: Do not listen unless you are prepared to invest your heart and soul. It's about finding yourself and your path on this wild ride called life while overcoming loss, heartbreaks, and illness. It's about family and hope and love. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone novel but comes with spoilers for the first book in the series.

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. Fast forward a decade. We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

I've got it bad for my best friend, but he's only had eyes for my sister since we were kids. I don't know what I'll do if they hook up - especially after a drunken kiss West doesn't seem to remember. Seeing them together just might kill me, so why I offer to help him hone his dating skills, I'll never know. FML.

They say it’s a bad idea to fall for your best friend. But since when do I say no to bad ideas? It’s not like I wanted to fall in love with Ben. But I didn’t really have a choice. Not only is he hot, he’s sweet, funny, and insanely talented. We’d both been struggling musicians for years, but even after Ben got signed by a major label, he still wanted to be friends with a nobody like me. Honestly, if he didn’t want me falling for him, he should have been less goddamn perfect. Well, except for the part where he’s straight. Did I forget to mention that?

With NFL scouts watching my every move, the last thing I should be thinking about is Quinton Toro, my awkwardly sexy genius of a tutor who makes me think about breaking my headboard. I might fantasize about everything about him at night, but I’ve worked too hard for too long to slip up now. But if it came down to having him or a career in the NFL, which would I choose? The answer should be obvious, right? Then why can’t I get the lustful way he looks at me out of my mind?
