Story
Life is a dream, or is it? Zac can remember every detail of his dreams. He’s profoundly disturbed because he dreams about Isaac, a gay boy, and Zac is absolutely, 100 percent straight, or is he? Isaac is troubled by his newly vivid dreams too because he’s dreaming about Zac. Yuck! How could a boy want to do that with girls? Zac lives in 1983 and Isaac in 2018 so how can they possibly dream about each other? As both boys begin to doubt their sanity and wonder if they are real, their dreams begin to bring them closer together across time.

I’m confused
Mark I have listened to all of your books! Big fan. This story was going so well and then all the sudden it was just over. There was so much more you could’ve written. I don’t understand...
And while I’m actually writing a review, I was wondering why you get so detailed in regard to EVERY SINGLE THING every character you’ve ever created eats. It’s mind boggling. Just wondering...

Good, but not great.
Basically, it's about a 15 year old boy who explores his sexuality, but at the same time explores of what life could be for him. He fines his true friends at the end. Narration is excellent. Length is above average. but it's worth a listen.

Fantastic
A really engaging book. This was the first of the Gay Chronicles I read and I was so enthralled in the story I’ve now read 5 more books.
