There is more drama in this one than the first book and I cannot wait for the third book to continue Baz and Elijah's story. It is always great to see a beloved couple throughout a series I love the way Ms. Especially Walter, who I now want to clone as the gay big brother for all young gay men. And all through it, Walter and Kelly, from the 1st book played prominent roles. Then it morphed into the beginning of a second story with another couple. Then it morphed into a coming of age/coming out story that tore at my heart. The first half of this book made me want to tear my hair out with all the misunderstandings and angst. It is hard to put into words what the story (really two stories) is about.

Put it this way, while reading I rented Pitch Perfect and downloaded Titanium a movie and a song I had never heard before, but now love. Their story was a roller coaster ride of emotion, angst, horror, joy and down right whooping fun. I do not believe this is not a stand alone book, you have to read/listen to the first book in order to really enjoy this one. Although the narrator did a wonderful job, in this case the book eclipsed the narrator. Frequently in my audiobook reviews I praise the narrator for bring the story to a new level. Warning: Contains showmances, bad parenting, Walter Lucas, and a cappella. But if more than one set of controlling parents have their way, the music of their love could come to a shattering end. As the semester wears on, their attraction crescendos from double cautious to a rich, swelling chord.

But when Aaron appears on campus, memories of hometown hazing threaten what he'd hoped would be his haven. Giles Mulder can't wait to get the hell out of Oak Grove, Minnesota, and off to college, where he plans to play his violin and figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. Until a geeky-cute classmate lifts his spirits, leaving him confident of two things: his sexual orientation and where he's headed to school. Ditched by a friend at a miserable summer farewell party, all he can do is get drunk in the laundry room and regret he was ever born. He lives in terror of incurring his father's wrath and disappointing his mother, and he can't stop dithering about where to go to college - with fall term only weeks away. Aaron Seavers is a pathetic mess, and he knows it.
