I am SO excited to share this with all of you! I love, love, LOVE the way this audiobook turned out. My fabulous narrator, David Lane Pusey, absolutely captured Wyatt and Nova's sunshine/grumpy dynamic, the queer found family, and the bananas adventure romance!

From me and all the Lords of Dystopia, Happy Pride and Happy Listening!
