About this listen

In my head, I see him. My very straight best friend. The one I will never have.

Teddy

I’ve never felt like I fit in, but that changed the day I met him. Liam West. He was larger than life, even back when we were kids. He protected me from every awful thing life threw at me, but somewhere along the way my fascination with him turned into something more. Something filled with pain. I’ve tried to put distance between us, but it never works.

Liam will never let me get too far from him. All I can do is stay high enough to forget the hopelessness of it all.

Liam

Getting my life together hasn’t been easy. I work hard and take care of the people I care about, but the one person who matters the most is pulling away from me. My longest and only best friend. He’s becoming more and more self-destructive, and he expects me to turn the other cheek. Not happening.

Teddy has always needed me, and I’m starting to realize I might need him just as much, if not more.

High and Hopeless is book two in the Worthless Boys trilogy, a NA friends-to-lovers MM romance. It can be enjoyed as a standalone.

not what I was expecting, but in a good way

You know how sometimes we read books to escape reality? Yeah... this book is not that.

This is a story about the sad reality of some people in this world. It's about struggles, hardships, and trauma... but it's also a story about hope, perseverance, love, and friendship. About friends who become lovers and friends who become family.

Teddy & Liam have been best friends for years now. Best friends who found each other randomly and never left. One look, and they just knew the other one would be their person forever.

Teddy got the short end of the stick, tho when he fell in love with his straight best friend. Those feelings, that love... they ate him alive. They hurt him. Not Liam, never Liam, or... not intentionally.

Their story starts with them navigating a rough patch in their friendship, but because they mean so much to each other, somehow things take a turn neither of them expected.

I loved reading about their journey, even if it was painful at times to see how sometimes our circumstances just make our lives harder.

I'll have to go back and read book 1, because of course I started out of order... again 🤦‍♀️.

I love their friend group, and I can't wait to see how the guys got together in book one and how book 3 will solve that lil thing we started to notice in this book. I hope I'll see more of Liam and Teddy in the next one cuz they're my babies, and I only wish to see them happy from now to all eternity. They deserve it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
