How Not to Blend

Lovestrong Book, 1

By: Susan Hawke

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

One clueless single dad...

Dr. Corbin Davis is a busy guy just trying to do his best as a single parent. He may be oblivious to a lot of things, but surely he would’ve noticed something as important as his 15-year-old son Grayson being bullied, right? And what the heck is nonbinary, and why hasn’t Gray shared this all-important part of himself with his own dad?

Plus one sassy Southerner...

Andy Ferguson, or Kandi as the Thursday night drag community knows him, is just trying to get along in a small town and hold things together while he takes care of his beloved Gam-Gam. If she’d just get off his back about finding himself a man, that would be fantastic, thank you very much. He’ll get around to love...one of these days.

Equals a pair of fake boyfriends who will keep you in stitches.

When Corb gets the wild idea to ask Andy to pose as his boyfriend to let Gray know that his dad is bisexual and open-minded enough to talk to about his nonbinary status, Andy is amused and just intrigued enough to say yes...especially since he seems to be in the market for a fake boyfriend himself, if it will get Gam-Gam to quit nagging.

And it touches on issues that the LGBTQ community face from young adults to adults. I highly recommend listening to this and reading the book.

perfect!

How Not To Blend by Sussn Hawke is the first novel in the new LOVESTRONG series. It is a hilarious story of fake boyfriends finding real love. The colorful and wonderful characters that fill the pages had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. There are also some moments that leave you feeling all the feels and deals with serious topics. Oh and a flash mob moment that made me squeal. It is hard to not fall in love with the amazing people in this book. If this is the first book, I can not wait to see what comes next.

Narrator Michael Pauley does a fantastic job bringing the characters' personality out. Each voice unique and perfect.... the story comes to life.
