About this listen

There are two sides to every story. Especially when you're still in the closet.

Tim Wyman hoped moving to Texas would mean a new beginning, but he soon finds himself falling into the same old patterns. Until he meets recklessly brave Benjamin Bentley, who brings love and compassion to his world. Certain that society won't understand what he and Ben have together, Tim is determined to protect their relationship, even if it means twisting the truth. Buried beneath his own deceptions, Tim must claw his way to the surface in the hopes of learning to fly.

Something Like Winter retells the story of Something Like Summer from Tim's perspective, offering previously unrevealed moments and personal journeys as he strives to become worthy of Ben’s love.

Each Something Like... book follows a different LGBTQ character on their quest for love. Central to the plot is the troubled relationship between Ben and Tim, former high school sweethearts who continue to meet over the years, their chemistry changing with each encounter. Surrounding them are friends and enemies, each with their own story, resulting in an immersive universe filled with first times and second chances. While the series doesn't shy away from intimate details, it also focuses deeply on emotion, promising an experience that will stay with you long after the final word is heard.

This book is intended for mature audiences. The recommended listening age is 18 or older.

Have loved exploring Ben and Tim's story of their life through different lenses. Still sad about Jase though.

Any additional comments?

Everyone deserves a second chance, but due to choices or circumstances a lot of people don’t get that opportunity.

We all make mistakes and Tim, throughout his teen years made quite a few. In this story we see his point of view and the motivation behind his actions.

This story is so well written and has characters that have managed to get under my skin in a way that very few fictional characters do.

More than just a different POV story

In 'Something Like Summer' we were introduced to Ben and Tim, with that story being told from Ben's point of view, and when we first met Tim he wasn't the most likeable character, and for good reason! This story is told from Tim's perspective where we learn more about Tim and his mind set and how he comes to terms with his sexuality. As the story develops we get reacquainted with some familiar characters, and some new ones.

Tim's obsession with Ben, and his meddling in Ben's life is very nearly his undoing, with his emotions taking him, and us, on a roller coaster ride!

The excellent narration by Kevin R. Free brings the characters to life and I was disappointed when this story ended - I wanted more, and I'm so glad that there are further stories in this series, and I hope that they as good as these first two! This is 13 hours of listening well spent and I can highly recommend it!

Something Like...Awesome!

This was such an amazing companion book. To hear the other perspective was amazing. To feel the passion and get a full picture of how lives come together was just perfect. 2 hands 2 hearts. Such a beautiful story!!

After enjoying the first book. I immediately started the second upon discovering Something Like Winter is a story told through the point of Tim!!

I loved that this book revisits some of the sweetest and darkest moments between Ben and Tim, unveiling the feelings, emotions on Tim’s side.
It feels like a story being retold but it’s far from repetitive. If you have read the first book you actually will love those recounted moments in this second book.

Amazing book and looking forward to read the 3rd book!

A story told from the point of view of Tim

Love the book will always be my favorite. Hearing the same-ish story from a different perspective is something you won't realise you need untill you hear it. If you've read the first one or not - it's irrelevant you will want to listen to this. Hate the narrator only because his voices are nothing like the characters but I suppose you have to show variation as not to get confused.

Absolutely loved this story. Great characters and a love story told with great passion. I laughed a lot and I cried too - makes me wish I was 16 again or better still, what I wouldn't give for a time machine.

Loved It

such a clever book series, love how each book is telling the same story put from someone else's perspective filling in the gaps and has you remembering bits when the books cross over into each other making you think that's why he reacted that way or that makes sense now I know how he got the scar. the author is such an amazing writer , the narrator was a joy to listen to as you visualise the story in your mind. so many twists and Turns and cannot wait to start audio book 3. so nice to have a gay book that isn't stereotyped

loved every second
