Summary

Music is the only form of communication Connor Owens controls. No matter how badly he wishes to fit in, friendly banter and casual conversations have never been his thing. College is yet another social universe he has no clue how to navigate - until he meets Jared, a football player with chestnut eyes and a cocky grin that holds the power to shatter his self-imposed prison. Jared's attention opens Connor up to a new realm of emotional and physical intimacy. But as Connor's self-confidence grows, so does his fear that everything will fall apart. Because in this socially stratified world, how long can a relationship between an introverted violinist and a closeted football player really last?

A well read waste of time

The story is so simillar to so many others that it could run on rails. That on its own is not necessarily bad, if it was a good version. This is at best inoffensive.

just enough diffence to be good

Any additional comments?

It is good to see authors like Sara Alva getting more into the public eye, and very fortunate that she had a great narrator prepared to put in his time for no more reward than the satisfaction of a job very well done. I liked the reading very much.
The story is good too, typical enough in many ways, but the sub plot of the ex "not a girlfriend" is interestingly done and allowed for a lot of character development.
A good read and btw definitely NSFW on occassions so be prepared to blush in your headphones on the bus!

I don't often review

Would you listen to Social Skills again? Why?

I rarely review as I dont really know what to say. Its simple really, did I like it or not. In this case I did. The story is believable at a pace that doesnt make you yawn and its totally surrounded by sex. We performed by Andrew Eiden a lovely listen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Social Skills?

the first moment they kiss

Which character – as performed by Andrew Eiden – was your favourite?

Conner of course :-)

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Out in the Open
