Until We Meet Again

Roosevelt College, Book 2

By: Christina Lee

Narrated by: Graham Halstead, Javi Wilder

Bruce "Bones" Lanning and Emil Ettinger had a decent roommate arrangement at Roosevelt College, so they agree to share the same space again. Their relationship has always been ridiculous banter and competitive streaks, and they assume this year will be the same.

So why are they suddenly enjoying nights holed up in their room together?

Bones can't figure out why he likes being around Emil so much and why he's suddenly falling asleep in Emil's bed. And as far as Emil knows, Bones is straight, so why does he seem jealous when Emil arranges a random hookup, then asks all sorts of questions about what it's like to kiss another guy?

To put an end to his roommate's endless queries, Emil kisses Bones, convinced he's just goofing around. But one encounter leads to another, until Emil begins seeing Bones in a different light. Underneath the clueless, carefree facade lies a deeper emotional underpinning that allows Emil to become more vulnerable too—and maybe even admit that spending time with his roommate is the best part of his day.

Still, Emil isn't about to become another jock's experiment, so he makes it clear that their hookups are totally casual. Until they're not.

Contains mature themes.

audio review
two new to me narrarators and enjoyed both of them and the energy they brought to Emil & Bones. enjoyed they also felt like they were the age of the characters they were unlike in some audios they feel older which takes we away from the listen.

The follow-up to XOXO with Emil and Bones is the close friends of Lark & Henry, the previous books MCs. What can you really say but Bones is so much better of a man than he was previously betrayed. He shows he can learn and grow to be a better person. Emil is his beautiful, snarky, understanding self in helping Bones in this journey of self-discovery.
Together, they have a beautiful banter that shows even as they get older, they will be able to last because they just are with one another. Thank you, Christina, for writing a college age romance where the characters feel genuine to their age and, yes, make mistakes, but grow from them. Hope to see future couples from this universe, but only time will tell.

Good listen!

Enjoyed this series. Love how the author intertwined all the characters from each novel into each book. Great story lines.

Better than Book 1

I loved Book 1, but I found this one so much more special. Getting to know Bones and listening as he slowly discovered himself was wholesome. I appreciated the similarities to Book 1, but loved how it was different at the same time. I wholeheartedly recommend this read.

I'm so glad they got their own story

I enjoyed meeting these characters in the previous book and was glad to see their story was the next book. I liked their interactions and steady growth of their relationship. The narration really brought them to life. Highly recommend this book.

Meh

This story is incredibly underwhelming and simplistic - ESPECIALLY from an author that wrote Kick Flip, Love Me Louder, Have Mercy - and co-wrote Of Sunlight & Stardust and the Pretty Things Series ....
