Hilarious and Emotional

Any additional comments?

As soon as I heard Michael Lesley had signed up to do the audio for Until You I have been impatiently waiting for the audiobook to release.

So. Worth. The. Wait.

Lesley brings the humor and emotion in this to life with such obvious love for the characters and story.

Get ready for an awesome gut hurting, side splitting time listening to this. But don't forget this is a Klune story - so there are also feels along the way.

Paul and Vince are finally getting married! Told in Paul's POV, Until You is everything I hoped for, wanted and needed, and even a bit of what I didn't know I wanted but am so happy I got, in this series.

The whole gang is back, including Sandy - who's there, of course, to be the best man, but also to pull Paul back from the edge as needed.

Paul's mom and dad, Nana, Sandy, Darren, Daddy, and Corey/Kori are all back and make this completely hilarious.

From office blowjobs, to diabetic breakdowns, to epic bachelor parties, to sexy Paul coming out to play...What was that? Oh, yes...#SexyPaul comes out to play...to the most perfect Vince and Paul wedding ever...this was absolutely wonderful, funny, and heartwarming in every way. Thank you, TJ Klune and Michael Lesley for an absolutely delightful time. Until You delivers. It delivers all over us.

Or - as Corey so perfectly puts it:

“Oh my God,” Corey moaned. “I have never been more happy to be alive than I am right at this moment.”

*Note* I would not recommend reading this as a standalone. Definitely get the other stories in the series (Tell Me It's Real and The Queen & the Homo Jock King) first.

Laughed so hard I may have peed a little

I don't care what anyone says, Michael Lesley narrating Sexy Paul just may be the best thing since Michael Lesley became everything that is Gary the hornless unicorn. Until you had a genuine heart and humour that will have you both 'oohhhhing' at the love and baying like a donkey at the humour. How Michael narrated this without dying of laughter is a credit to his professionalism. Of course, I *guess* (winky face) TJ Klune should get some credir for the writing. He did good!!!

Best narrator ever!

TJ Klune's book is hilarious, add in a narrator that really gets the characters and it just brings the story to life. I had already read the ebook of Until You but had to listen to Michael Lesley read it. The voices he does, especially for the MCs, are perfect.
Highly recommend to all TJ Klune fans, fans of mm romance,and anybody who loves a good laugh.

Absolutely hysterical!

OH. My. GOD!

This was SOOOOO funny. But also, unexpectedly touching, too. With some crazy hot times thrown in for good measure.

This is not a standalone – it’s full of “inside jokes” and things that only make sense if you’ve been reading the series all along. And it’s HYSTERICAL. OH MAN. I literally laughed out loud so often I had to leave the room so my husband could sleep. I snorted and almost cried, too.

Things I ADORED: The feelings. Yes – Vince can be sappy and so can Paul – but also Daddy and Sandy and –what? – Darren too? And the folks and – well pretty much everyone spills feelings all over this book. The GPS. That B**ch made me a fan of TJ from the first moment I read Tell Me It’s Real. It was one of the first times I felt the need to pull over and stop the car because I was laughing so hard. She’s back in this book and even bitchier! The Bros. O.M.G! When Corey and Sandy decide they can be bros and take a tour of the horse farm- I really almost peed my pants. The wedding. It was spectacular and wonderful and just as I’d expected. Jeremy and his father. Yes! I really want to hear about both of these men in a longer story. Daddy is a character I’ve loved from day one and I know Klune is comfortable about writing older figures (See Jack and Jackie) so it would be fantastic if we can see their story unfold from the beginning. Corey/Kori is another angst-fest waiting to happen – I can tell- but it seems like her Jeremy has a good, solid head on his shoulders and won’t be prone to any nonsense.

All in all this was so much fun to read, surprisingly touching, non-surprisingly hysterical and such a nice way to catch up to old friends and meet new ones! (The audio will probably make my head explode with it's greatness!)


Audio

Gah! This was SOOOO funny. First you think it really can’t be more funny than reading it, right? Well – it’s different funny. In my head the jokes play out one way and in Michael Lesley’s mind another, so it’s a different funny and so you get two sets of experience! I adored listening to this! I laughed out loud and I found Michael’s special effects wonderful! There’s a crowd scene (you know where!), a Sat Nav voice (The evil b***ch!), the phone, and more… all these extra touches which just make this already fabulous story rocket out of the stratosphere.

So… if you haven’t already bought it – do it! But make sure you’ve read/listened to the others in the series first.

So Epic

This audio is pure joy! Paul and Vince are getting married! The bachelor party is so epic! Michael Lesley is amazing I can’t recommend his narrations enough!

When I grow up!!

GRANDMOTHER!!! Nana is who I want to be when I grow up!!!! She’s the sickest person ever!!! Paul, Sandy, Vince, Cory and Darien are lucky!!!! The story is great (have me laughing out loud on the bus 🚌!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Minor issues with narration

Love Paul and Vince. The narrator seemed to have a problem coming up with a different vocal characterization for Sandy and Corey. That was often distracting. I'm certain this won't be a problem in the print version.

I loved the foreshadowing in the epilogue! I can't wait!

Exceptional

No surprise here, TJ Klune + Michael Lesley = pure genius. Start at the beginning, listen to the whole series. You will not regret it.

Stupendous

This as an Ebook is awesome, but as I read it Michael Lesley's voices were in my head. The audio is absolutely STUPENDOUS. I'm driving along listening to my audio on the radio and laughing like a loon. So, so recommended. I'd give it all the stars. There just aren't enough superlatives.

Yet again a wonderful book.

Totally riving book, already listened to it twice. Love laughter tears happy tears if I had to find a neglective it would be Vince is made a bit too dumb compared to the first book. And nana so very funny. Looking forward to more from T.J.
