Review: Poetry in Motion

Poetry in Motion by Samantha Wayland and Michael Ferraiuolo
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Travis Campbell has been at this hockey thing for a while. He knows his days on the ice are numbered, but he’s happy with the Moncton Ice Cats and he’s still got some time to figure out what comes next. He’s been taking college classes online and thought he knew what he was doing, but then he made the ultimate rookie mistake. It turns out that the poetry class is not the easier way to get his required English credits.

Barnaby Birtwistle has exiled himself to the wilds of New Brunswick, leaving London, his so-called friends, and his cheating ex behind. His life is finally getting back on track, and he's going to keep it that way, even if it means living like a monk.

Travis is expecting a bookish nerd to help him pass his staggeringly boring class; Barnaby is expecting a meathead hockey player who struggles to string two words together, let alone appreciate poetry. Turns out that they both have something to learn.

This LGTBQ romance was nice but I struggled to keep listening. Several chapters I had to relisten more than once, because I immediately forgot what happened.
Narration was fine, but this audiobook was the worst of the M/M ones in this series. Nothing seemed to happen and the 'conflict' in the end was unimaginative and solved in a rush.
