Refreshing Romance Story

I loved the writing style Cody used for this story. It was sweet and endearing to read such a beautiful story. Love is more than just a state of emotion. Love changes and grows as people change and grow. This story warmed my heart because of the love Kamden and Zayne shared was pure and true. Check out this book out if you want a short and sweet story about pure and true love between two great young men!

The Mayberry - Andy Griffith connection drew me in, and the story finished me

This is a love story about two guys who grew up together, their mothers being best friends, and their friendship, deep and secure. They realized they were each other's soulmates, and their mothers encouraged them to deepen their connection.

It's a sweet, short story with a wonderful ending in the magical town of Mt. Airy in North Carolina, where the town's tourism industry is built on the long-ago black-and-white TV series that is still revered in some places.

When their mothers arrange for one of the town's police officers to talk with the guys about their husbands, it's priceless. It also encourages them to profess their love for each other and their desire to spend their lives together.

The two guys in this story recognize that their friendship is profound and their attraction stems from their love for each other. It's well-told and very brief read.

"You, Me and Mayberry" beautifully captures the charm of small-town life and the innocence of young love, evoking nostalgic memories of childhood crushes that hopefully led to confessions. The characters are relatable, and the theme of family support adds a comforting warmth. Although the writing could use a little polish, these minor issues do not overshadow the overall engaging and heartwarming narrative. For those who appreciate reflective tales of first loves and family dynamics, "You, Me and Mayberry" remains a delightful read.

Awesome read

I am 72 years old and am gay. I wish my growing up had been like this. Although Gary Indiana was no Mayberry I got by. I loved this story and look forward to reading the follow-up book

Zayne and Kamden have been best friends for ever. Now that they are both 18, they want to be more. But can they in this small town? Yes, yes they can.

This is a short, sweet story about being gay and in love in a small town. The sweetness is about how these two young men find their love for each other and the courage they have to come out as gay. The author paints lovely word pictures of the place they live and the feelings they share. I really recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.
