Resumen del Editor
A funny and heart-warming coming-of-age story, set in a rural Australian community, about 17-year-old Jackson finding the courage to explore who he is, even if it scares him.
'I don't paint so much anymore,' I say, looking to my feet.
'Oh. Well, I got a boy who needs to do some art. You can help him out,' Aunty Pam says, like I have no say in the matter, like she didn't hear what I just said about not painting so much anymore. 'Jackson, this is Tomas. He's living with me for a little while.'
It's a hot summer, and life's going all right for Jackson and his family on the Mish. It's almost Christmas, school's out and he's hanging with his mates, teasing the visiting tourists, avoiding the racist boys in town. Just like every year, Jackson's Aunty and annoying little cousins visit from the city - but this time a mysterious boy with a troubled past comes with them.... As their friendship evolves, Jackson must confront the changing shapes of his relationships with his friends, family and community. And he must face his darkest secret - a secret he thought he'd locked away for good.
Compelling, honest and beautifully written, The Boy from the Mish is about first love, identity and the superpower of self-belief.
Published in North America as Ready When You Are.

Historia
James Spencer is hardly the typical troubled youth who ends up at Whisperwood School for Boys. Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff, James blossoms, quickly making friends, indulging in his love of writing, and contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher. And, when the normally collected William stumbles in one night, shaken and ranting of ghosts, James is the only one who believes him.

Toby never meant to be a highway robber, but needs must. He didn’t plan to impersonate a top London valet either, but when the chance comes to present himself as the earl of Arvon’s new gentleman's gentleman, he grabs it. Unfortunately, the earl is the man he seduced and robbed on the road to get here. Oops.

Historia
Julian Jackson has a short to-do list for his senior year at Crenshaw County High School in Meridien, Texas: football, football, and more football. He knows he's only got one chance to earn a college scholarship and make it out of his small town, and keeping his head down, his grades up, and his cleats on the field is that one chance. And then Elijah Vance walks back into his life, throwing all of his carefully-laid plans into a tailspin.

Historia
The Fischers are the only family Brennan has ever known, and when they adopt him, he has no plans on doing anything to jeopardize that. Even if it means pretending Josh Daly doesn't make his heart pound every time their eyes meet. The tension eases once Josh heads off to a Christian university on a baseball scholarship. Brennan stays put in Elm Grove to work at his family's drive-in movie theater and take classes at the local community college. But when Josh comes home for summer break, the feeling not only returns, it transforms into a loud and commanding drumbeat....

Historia
Haunted by what he lost in Afghanistan, Captain Jack Turner is at a crossroads. While the last place he wants to go is the Arctic, at least the routine mission gets him out from behind his new desk. But he starts off on the wrong foot with the Canadian Ranger guiding him across the forbidding and dangerous land, and Jack would rather be anywhere than sharing a tent with Sergeant Kin Carsen.

Historia
When a string of young queer men turn up dead in grisly murders, all signs point to the ex-boyfriend - but what should be an open-and-shut case is fraught with tension when BPD homicide detective Malcolm Khalaji joins up with a partner he never wanted. Rigid, ice-cold, and a stickler for the rules, Seong-Jae Yoon is a watchful presence whose obstinacy and unpredictability constantly remind Malcolm why he prefers to work alone. Seong-Jae may be stunningly attractive, a man who moves like a graceful, lethal bird of prey...but he's as impossible to decipher as this case.

Awesome listen!
This is a beautiful book written with lots of care and joy, while not minimizing the struggle that people can face when they grow up in marginalized communities. Loved it!

Sweet coming of age
Exposure to queer indigenous voices and stories has become more urgent to me of late. This is a solid coming of age story that depicts the cultural belonging as well as the racialize aggressions that press in on the lives of indigenous communities. I enjoyed it.

Worth a listen
Overall, it was an interesting and enjoyable read. Aboriginal culture is one I don't know much about, so this is something new for me, and I'm glad I gave this book a chance.
The negatives - The main reason for lower rating is just that there wasn't a whole lot going on. For the most part, it's about the boys hanging out and other activities of their everyday life. The beginning especially felt slow. The writing style, while not necessarily bad, felt a little dry or stiff at times. And lastly, though it's more of a me-problem as a non-native English speaker, it took me several chapters to get used to the narrator's accent. I assume it's the correct accent for the book's setting, which I do admit is a great choice, but regardless it meant there were parts of the book I wasn't able to decipher. But it did get easier the more I listened.
The positives - I enjoyed the glimpse into Aboriginal culture, however small of an example it may be. The romance was cute and well executed, and the relationships with all the other characters - family and friends - felt genuine. Most of the characters were very likeable. There was clear character development and coming to terms with one's own identity, with a satisfying ending to the book.
