The Sky Blues

By: Robbie Couch

Narrated by: Michael Crouch

Sky’s small town turns absolutely claustrophobic when his secret promposal plans get leaked to the entire school in this witty, “earnest, heartfelt” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author), and ultimately hopeful debut novel for fans of What if it’s Us? and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Sky Baker may be openly gay, but in his small, insular town, making sure he was invisible has always been easier than being himself. Determined not to let anything ruin his senior year, Sky decides to make a splash at his high school’s annual beach bum party by asking his crush, Ali, to prom—and he has thirty days to do it.

What better way to start living loud and proud than by pulling off the gayest promposal Rock Ledge, Michigan, has ever seen?

Then, Sky’s plans are leaked by an anonymous hacker in a deeply homophobic e-blast that quickly goes viral. He’s fully prepared to drop out and skip town altogether—until his classmates give him a reason to fight back by turning his thirty-day promposal countdown into a school-wide hunt to expose the e-blast perpetrator.

But what happens at the end of the thirty days? Will Sky get to keep his hard-won visibility? Or will his small-town blues stop him from being his true self?

Touching, fun and real

Robbie Couch knocked it out of the park with this one. I couldn’t get enough of Sky Blues and listened in just a short couple of sittings. The imagery Couch put on paper is vivid and contemporary. I MAY have cried a few times (where’s MY promposal, dammit?!) but all happy tears. Bravo!

A good read

Great book

Absolutely loved everything about this book. Such a good book. Makes me wish I was more open with my friends back in HS.

book

It was a great read! However I feel like having one more chapter would had made it perfect. Ending the story on the Prom would have made it so much better. But still a great book overall 9.9/10

Amazing coming of age story

Soooo good. If you enjoy teen angst and coming-of-age stories, you will absolutely love Sky Blues. Listen to it immediately. Also, Michael Couch remains undefeated when it comes to his narration skills.
