About this audiobook
In Into? North Morgan shines a coolly mesmerizing light on the modern generation of gay men that are living firmly outside the closet, freed from the shadow of AIDS and elevated by popular culture, but plagued by a new set of problems, insecurities and self-destructions.
Konrad Platt needs to get out of town. Heartbroken after his boyfriend leaves him for another man, Konrad abandons his life in London for the warm sun and blue surf of LA. He occupies a refined world of hard abs, VIP parties, and designer drugs that’s constantly, endlessly documented on social media. You know him from your various feeds – sunkissed, gym ripped and always having a better time than you. Or is he?
Beneath the perfectly curated Instagram profile is a man spiraling out of control and desperate for meaningful connection. As Konrad goes from gay bar to gay pride, and swipes right from bed to bed, North Morgan spins a story in brutal, addictive prose of excess and love that’s like nothing you’ve ever read.
Praise for Into?:
"Into? has a sense of urgency — 'You must read this now!' I told a friend, shoving my copy into his hands. The novel is not clunking around with the literary halo of high advances and M.F.A. pedigree and overthought adjectives, but it’s a brutal story about loneliness in this hyperactive social media age that was bursting to be told." — New York Times

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A bit shallow. There were two or three surprisingly honest and biting observations, but the central theme got so repetitive that it was boring. I just skimmed through it. However the voice artist, "Christian Coulson", did a great job of emulating the author and his numerous encounters.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some parts are interesting enough for me to keep going till end, to see what happens to the character, but it’s way too repetitive, I expected more :(

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5It's as though someone scrolled through the instagram profile of a gay influencer and spun a yarn. It does not resemble the gay life in America that me and my friends know in any way. The whole thing was very "boohoo I'm attractive and rich and have lots of sex but I'm still unhappy poor me." I was like, get a grip. Everyone is unhappy... at least you're rich and attractive and surrounded by friends. I couldn't finish it.
