Title: One Night In A Thousand Years (audio)
Author: Craig Cunningham
Genre: YA
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Senior year was supposed to be the time of Colt’s life, but when he meets Lucas Oliver, a college-aged vagabond with a mysterious past, Colt’s life takes an unexpected turn.
Lucas mentors Colt and a group of eleven other senior guys, guiding them through a series of rites of passage over the course of the year. They are challenged by the power of sacred questions, courageous acts, and vulnerable authenticity, but the question remains: can Lucas be trusted with his unorthodox ideas about God, life, and death? Along the way, Colt’s feelings for Noa—a “band dork” he has known for years, deepen as he falls for her bright green eyes and charming honesty.
As Colt and the group of young men explore the wonders, romance, and adventures of their senior year, they are confronted with an event that challenges everything they hold true.
I really enjoyed this audio book! It felt like Dead Poets Society, with its whole coming-of-age vibe, although a teeny bit less sad. I loved how Colt came to realize there was more to life he’d ever imagined—and more that he wanted out of it. The friendships in this book are fantastic and realistic, with the good, the bad, and the ugly. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but I was truly engrossed and listened to it straight through in one day.
