Simple Men (First Edition, First)
Simple Men (First Edition, First) | Eric Arvin
3 posts | 1 read
Chip Arnold is a well-liked football coach at a small liberal arts college, but his personal life is in a bit of a rut. He goes out drinking with his colleagues, gets along well with his players, and dates all the prettiest women in town--he has the life most straight men dream of. But lately none of the women he dates seem to be igniting any passion in him. Then he meets the new school chaplain, Foster Lewis. Romantic attraction to another man is new and terrifying, and Chip just can't put his finger on why he's drawn to Foster, but it's stronger than anything he's felt for anyone in his life. Never one to back down from a challenge, Chip decides to go for it. But love is never simple, and sometimes it's a downright mess!

Mehso-so

This was uncomfortably heteronormative in places with casual homophobia and odd sexism to go with it. It made parts of the story very awkward. I couldn‘t help pulling for both couples by the end, but I almost bailed. Luckily it was a quick read. I think the problem is that SO much has changed since 2011 in how we talk about gender, identity, etc., and this just has not aged well.

When the track coach has a golf cart and likes to terrorise other members of the faculty and some students. The students even call it the cart of menace! 🤣😂🤣

This was the first audiobook that wasn‘t nonfiction, that I haven‘t read yet… so here goes nothing.
