His being asexual had seen the end of a lot of his romances, but he\u2019s determined to stay true to himself. Leaving his North Shore support group behind, he starts his own in Surry Hills, where he meets first-time-attendee Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>A little bewildered and scared, but completely adorable, Hennessy is struck by this guy who\u2019s trying to find where he belongs. Maybe Hennessy can convince Jordan that his world hasn\u2019t been turned upside down at all, but maybe it\u2019s now\u2014for the first time in his life\u2014the right way up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/44292759-upside-down?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=qVZNpkPX8O&amp;rank=1\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \nwp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks-_300x100.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=upside+down+nr+walker&amp;i=digital-text&amp;crid=MCFQUUTX5GI6&amp;sprefix=Upside+down%2Cdigital-text%2C123&amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_7_11\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tenise.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \nsize-medium wp-image-25382\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tenise-_300x100.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Tenise<\/p>\n<p>Jordan is a librarian who loves to cuss, and he talks a whole bunch of nonsense when he&#8217;s nervous and I just love him.<\/p>\n<p>Hennessey works in internet safety. He&#8217;s a bit more reserved than Jordan, I guess you could say- but that does not matter one single iota- the 2 of them are 2 halves of the same whole. Soul mates. They were absolutely made for one another.<br \/>\nJordan is struggling with this because he has zero desire for sex and the feelings Hennessey is stirring in him have left him confused.<\/p>\n<p>Hennessey is so loving and understanding. He is the perfect partner for Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>This is my first read involving asexuals. I loved it. I feel like I learned a lot and have a better understanding of asexualism, and I would like to thank the author for that. I swooned, I cried, I laughed (a lot), I fell in love with these 2 men and their unyielding love for one another. And don&#8217;t even get me started on the supporting characters. They were all a fantastic group of friends. I hope I can move on from this book. I miss them already.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"authorInfoHeading\" class=\"a-text-bold\">About N.R.

Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance. She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way. She is many things; a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who live in her head, who don&#8217;t let her sleep at night unless she gives them life with words.<\/p>\n<p>She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things&#8230; but likes it even more when they fall in love.<\/p>\n<p>She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal.
