Jasper Quigley is tired of being everyone's favorite sidekick. He wants to become the hero of his own life, but that's not going to happen if he agrees to help out Milo Lionetti, his former best friend turned king of the jock. High school was miserable enough, thanks, and Jasper has no interest in dredging up painful memories of his old secret crush. But Milo's got nowhere else to go. His life is spiraling out of control, and he's looking to turn things back around. Step one? Replace the rare Odyssey cards he lost in an idiotic bet. Step two? Tell his ex-best-friend exactly how he feels—how he's always felt. Jasper may be reluctant to reopen old wounds, but he never could resist Milo. There's a catch though: if Milo wants his help, he's going to have to pitch in to make the upcoming children's hospital charity ball the best ever. But as the two don cosplay for the kids and hunt for rare cards, nostalgia for their lost friendship may turn into something even more lasting...

Okay, so I listened to the whole thing even though I really didn’t want to.In a way it’s a good story because it uses a different plot, one that is rather more focused on the Odyssey game than the whole romance thing. It has a nice little feeling of “a small world” which is always a bonus for me.BUT, and now comes my critical opinions, the “Milo” character is way too self indulgent and depressive. Not that those aren’t things a character should be allowed to have, it’s just awkward when it comes to this story.This in turn makes the other character both a hissyfit-gay and a savour, which leads to the romance falling a bit short from heartwarming and cozy.And lastly the subplot of what happened in high school, what Milo has been through, why there was an antagonist, and Milo’s old mates? Either deepen the characters by explaining these plots better, or lose like half of them and focus on a couple that are the most important.
