HOT BOY SUMMER

Avi Roque emanates fierce, Latine energy as they voice these fabulous gay boys in Texas during the summer after their junior year of high school. Mac has never had the close-knit friend group he craves. All that changes when he hears Flor discuss performers Valentina and Ariana Grande on the last day of English class. The tight group of joyful Mac, good-hearted Flor, tumultuous Cammy, and hot Mikey becomes everything to Mac--except not even a shared love of divas can soften Cammy's cruelty. Roque is made for this role and knows what the girlies want. The deliveries are extra AF, and the voices are clear yet distinct. Listening to this is such a mood for teens and a lesson in teen lingo for offline adults. S.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
