When Harry Met Harry

I was so looking forward to this book but only minutes into it, I knew I was going to struggle to finish it. I am just not a fan of this type of third person narrative, If this had been written in first, I probably would have loved the story. In the first hour I bet there were over 100 \”Harry\” said & \”Harrison\” said and I struggle to not notice it every time. Also sadly the weird \”tinkling music\” between chapters was not for me, I found it pulled me right out of the story every time. For me the best thing about this audiobook was Teddy Hamilton, if not for him, I probably wouldn\’t have made it past the first few chapters. 44 people found this helpful

This is a color-by-numbers trope fest that has not one single legitimate laugh, despite lifting its plot in whole from one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. No wit. No sparkling banter. No chemistry between the main characters, who are little more than cyphers. Shallow and, frankly… insulting. Save your hard earned credit and get something by KJ Charles, TJ Klune or Lily Morton. 28 people found this helpful

I listened to this story because I really love Teddy Hamilton. He and Malcolm do a terrific job of narration. I liked both the main characters but was frustrated with the course of their romance. It takes 3/4 of the book for them to get together and immediately after, Henry backs off because of fear? Insecurity? A non loving relationship with his father? I just didn’t get why he was so reluctant to be with Harrison. This “I want you but I can’t have you” goes in for months in the story! Henry’s dysfunctional relationship with his father went completely unresolved. All in all I spent too much time in angst and too little time enjoying resolution. Do NOT get this book if you enjoy specific description of romantic/sexual activity. Sex between Harrison and Henry is glossed over. The reader is informed that Harrison had difficulty walking following sex. Disappointing. 21 people found this helpful

As others here have said, this m/m retelling of one of the greatest Rom Coms ever is lacking in both \”rom\” and \”com\”. I lilked the friendship the author created between the two Harrys, but the serious lack of any chemistry made it hard to believe they were actually attracted to each other, let alone falling in love. Teddy Hamilton is a favourite narrator and always reliable; Malcolm Young wasn\’t bad (although there were some inconsistencies between their interpretations of some characters), but the production quality of his sections was TERRIBLE. It sounds like he was recording in a bathroom; the sound is tinny and treble-y and i can\’t understand how it got past post-production. Given this was a third person narration, I have no idea why two narrators were used anyway. Ultimately, this was a disappointment. The story started well but started to fizzle out around the half way point and honestly, I got bored. 🙁 Also – PLEASE STOP putting music into audiobooks! It\’s bad enough when you get it at the beginning and the end, but between chapters?! Nope. It drove me nuts. 16 people found this helpful

The book is fresh, fun, lovable and perfect for the summer chill! I\’d gladly recommend it to everyone who likes romantic novels and doesn\’t shy away from the LGBTQ. Loved it! 13 people found this helpful
