Having said that, he does slowly thaw and his backstory explains a lot. At the same time we’re left guessing about Professor Routledge’s state of mind most of the time, so his decision-making seems pretty random and unrelatable. Told in the 3rd person from Shawn’s perspective, he is a decent and sympathetic character and it’s great to watch him markedly grow and change, he carries the story. Facing course failure, he approaches his arrogant and harsh professor with a desperate offer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this but wasn’t blind to its flaws and unbelievabilityĢ0 yo Shawn Wyatt is sole guardian of his 4 yo twin sisters and the part time job and childraising doesn’t leave much time for his university studies or a girlfriend. But, alas, beggars can’t be choosers and I’ll take what I can get happily. He didn’t quite pull off the “Hazard effect” that you get in her books, but that sometimes happens when the book goes to audio. He did a good job, but was not as nuanced as I would have liked. As far as narration goes, this is my first audiobook by Josh Macrae, although I have heard of him before. The whole story is told from Shawn’s (the college student) POV and covers what happens when he and Rutledge come to their “gentleman’s agreement” of sorts. His scholarship issues depend on one (gay) professor not failing him. This story revolves around a (straight?) college student who is trying to balance taking care of his four year old sisters, working two jobs, and not losing his engineering scholarship. Just A Bit Twisted is one of my favorites in the Straight Guys series. I’ve never read anything quite like it and it’s addictive af. Hazard’s way of writing character’s obsessions with each other. I can’t say exactly what it is about this series that is like absolute crack to me, but I think it’s Ms. Audible is my usual MO, so I had to grab it here as well. I may have cheated a little-I’ve owned this audiobook via Apple for awhile now (and listened to it many times). Who doesn’t love the Professor/Student trope?
