Landon Griffin has everything going for him. He’s a high school senior on the brink of receiving a football scholarship, his dad is running for mayor of Madison, Texas, and his future with his girlfriend looks bright. But his simple life shatters when feelings spark for a guy he’s never met. Giving the stranger the codename Mystery Boy, Landon hesitates to step out of his comfort zone to solve the mystery. Living in a conservative town, he struggles to hide his new obsession while trying to figure out where he fits within the spectrum of sexuality. Can he dodge the constant questions from his friends and find answers before the escalating anxiety becomes too much to handle? Land On Me is Matthew R. Corr’s debut novel akin to the drama of Christopher Rice and the coming-of-age brilliance of Alex Sanchez.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Richly satisfying and intensely emotional, Land On Me is a story you won't soon forget. The opening hooked me and the relatable characters and twists kept me engrossed to the very end."

- Alicia Dean, Award-Winning Author.

"Land On Me is a true test of courage, friendship, family, and self-love."

- Alex Blades, Author of Confessions of a Teenage Closet Case.

"Altogether, Matthew R. Corr has written a tour de force of a debut novel. It blends a coming-of-age tale with the harsh realities of the world and the personal struggles and traumas that queer and queer-questioning teens face constantly."

- Cameron F, Bookstagrammer. (@readsandwritesbyc)

"A fascinating mix of 80's nostalgia, contemporary understanding of queerness, and timeless love makes for a thrilling-yet-familiar story that will strike a chord with both teenagers and those of us who left high school long ago."

- Christian Krenek, Playwright.

"Land On Me will take you back to those angsty teenage years when the world was just coming to life for you as your own person and you were just beginning the journey of finding your path. I laughed, I cried, and I saw the movie playing in my mind."

- Dana S, Goodreads.

What an amazing first book from a new author, I don't think I can truly express how much I've enjoyed this book.
Slow burn, great character development extremely hard to put down once you've started. Looking forward to more from this author.

A good start...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 4, 2021

I enjoyed this debut work by Matthew Corr. I have a few gripes to start out with. For one, I am constantly annoyed when an author hasn't researched enough about something to avoid some issues. This happens a lot when a foreign author tries to set their story in the US or is built upon some US cultural thing, like Football or a geographic place like Texas.

That's why it was a bit of a surprise to read Matthew is from the Northeast. So... the first gripe... The football season seems to be out of whack with how Texas runs it. And it kept bugging me when characters mentioned playing football in the spring, or a game being a month from Prom. Prom is normally held at the end of a school year, April/May for example, while football in Texas high schools play's at the other end of the school year, ending in December.

yeah... it's a little nitpick... but it seriously bugged me as it was often repeated over and over.

Gripe #2 was something I had more trouble with, and that was a sort of "forced outing" of the main character. And now that I think about it, he was outed against his will twice. It's the first "outing" I had issues with. I did not like thrusting the MC into a "gay situation" without telling him before hand. Once he was in this situation, it was clear he was uncomfortable. The second outing is given more weight and drama, I suppose because it was to non-LGBTQ+ folk. But I was really uncomfortable with the first one getting what felt like a pass because he was outed to LGBTQ+ folk.

My final gripe is the pacing at the start. The dream sequences and flashbacks are well written, but at the beginning, they break up the action in frustrating ways. Instead of being doused in the mystery that is MB, we kept getting interrupted with dreams and some flashbacks. I felt these could have been placed before the MB drama or after. They are excellent, and relevant to the MC and to our understanding of him and the people around him, so don't get rid of them, I just felt how they were paced did them and the MB drama a disservice.

Gripes aside, this was an excellent read, not too short, and full of emotion and drama and a lot more. Landon, our main character is well developed, his motivations and his journey from childhood are well written and have a wonderful progression that is fun to read (ups and downs). There is talk of suicide, drug use, and violence, but each was handled in a responsible way (although, be forewarned if these are triggers).

Caleb is a secondary character that fills as much space as Landon. His own story, different from Landon provides depth and maturity to the story, and helps to contrast Landon and his more "teenage" issues.

The setting was well done, but not as important as the characters. This isn't a story about dream dates, mansions, misty trails, or a beach boardwalk with crazy characters. What it is, is a story about finding yourself, and finding that other part of yourself in someone else. (And the bumps and potholes that lie on that journey)

Corr does a fantastic job with his characters and main and secondary ones all fill vitals roles in the plot, and fuel the growth of Landon in believable ways. My petty gripes aside, this was a great read, and I look forward to the sequel. You can tell it's a good book when you're dying for the next book in the series, and praying the author brings bring us the most Unicorns and Rainbows ending ever for Landon and his beloved.

Coming of Age MM Romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 1, 2023

First things first - I love this cover! It is the main reason I picked this book up.
Also worth mentioning that this was a debut novel for this author.

This is a coming of age romance filled with self-discovery and inner turmoil. I think the author did a really good job of capturing the teenage mind during that passage from kid to adult while they are trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. Landon's confusion and fears were very realistic.

The first half of this book was a little slow moving for me, however the second half picked up the pace substantially. The more interaction we get between Landon and his Mystery Boy the more invested I became. Spice is really low - but we get some. I'm looking forward to the sequel where we will hopefully get more of an adult perspective to their relationship.

Land on me is stellar.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2022

This book was a one night read because I fell completely in love with it. Landon had my heart from the beginning with the relationship with his father. I really enjoyed their realistic dynamic that in many ways mirrored my own, growing up. Especially toward the end. Further more, Landon is flawed. He is led by his emotions, by his confusion, makes choices based on his heart, and sometimes they are terrible. But they are real and I, and probably most, will relate.

Landons friends are a mixed bag and I spent time alternating from loving and hating them, because like Landon, they are flawed and real and are led by their emotions as well. I loved being part of their lives. Even for only one evening. And then there is Mystery Boy. How could one not fall for Mystery Boy. I spent so much time rooting for them, delving into their courting ,discovering their pasts, and hoping for a future.

Land on me really brings out that magical feeling of youth, angst, and first love. It also packs a doozy of an ending that I did not see coming.

At the end, all I wanted was more. More Landon, more mystery boy, more of this world.

There is a teaser at the end that showed me that more is coming. And I could not be happier.
