Hoops

By: Kennedy Ryan
Narrated by: Sean Crisden & Jo Raylan
Length: 13 hours 10 minutes

“Long Shot is the first of Kennedy Ryan's HOOPS trilogy, which follows three couples. This is by far my favorite of the three.

A Novel

“McQuiston's third novel (but debut YA) is a plot-driven, messy, character-rich joy ride! Think a Queer Election meets Booksmart in an early John Green novel (McQuiston does give a shout out to John Green in the book)! As usual, I loved the supporting cast as much if not more than the protagonists. I found myself rooting for most of the... Read more
