About this listen

Closeted teenager Jeremy is sent to live with wealthy relatives after his mother enters rehab. Struggling to fit into the posh world of Ballena Beach, Jeremy joins the high school swim team, dates a popular girl, and begins to think he may have landed in paradise - until his great aunt Katharine starts to dictate his every move…and a late-night phone call insinuates that his father’s accidental death was not so accidental after all.

As Jeremy grows accustomed to the veneer of a fabulous life, so grows his need for answers - as well as the danger of immeasurable harm. Weaving together a murder mystery, sexual ambiguity, and characters with hidden identities and agendas, Nick Nolan offers listeners a deliciously witty novel about the "puppet" who wishes only to be a real boy. Strings Attached is also a surprisingly heartfelt story about coming-of-age and coming out - not necessarily in that order.

This is a very entertaining drama full of Hollywood glamour and intrigue, with a soap opera feel to it.
Jeremy, whose rich father was killed when he was two, has been living a life of poverty with his alcoholic mother for the past fifteen years until she has to go into rehab. All of a sudden he finds himself in the care of his fathers rich Great Aunt Katherine and Uncle Bill, and he begins a journey of self discovery, development and his struggle with his sexuality.
However, all is not as it appears in his new life, there are questions as to how his father died and what are the true intentions of his manipulative Aunt and Uncle?
I really enjoyed this audiobook and the narrator, who I have never listened to before, was excellent.
This is the first book of a trilogy, Double Bound and Wide Asleep following on which I intend to listen to next.

An entertaining coming of age, coming out, thriller
