About this listen

You know, the way teenage guys talk about sex, you’d think all of us were having it all the time, non-stop.

Friendship, masculinity, sex – is it different for boys who like boys? Ant Stevenson has a lot of questions but doesn’t know where to even begin to look for answers. But he is determined to figure it out, all while balancing his ever-changing friendships with three very different boys.

From the author of A Monster Calls and the Chaos Walking trilogy comes a powerful story of loneliness and intimacy, of unexpected support and heart-ripping betrayal.

Critic Reviews

'Different For Boys by Patrick Ness explores teen sexuality, friendship, and romance in this frank and humorous LGBTQ+ story about Ant who is finding all his relationships increasing complicated.' (Books of 2023, BBC Entertainment & Arts)
'The hormones are crackling and the dynamics within the group twist and turn as they explore their sexuality. The denouement, while not unexpected, is written with freshness and feeling. Ness is perceptive, plots beautifully and writes like a dream.' (The Times)
'A quietly unforgettable book from an award winning author.' (Guardian)
