Description

'A delightful, entertaining and sexy debut, with a strong, likeable central character and a wonderfully drawn supporting cast of charming queer friends'  Matt Cain

Perfect Gay Rom Com Summer Reading

After his boyfriend of nine years betrays him, Charlie's carefully constructed world crumbles. At thirty-something, he's never navigated London's queer scene alone – and he's terrified. No relationship experience, no dating app knowledge, and absolutely no idea what he's supposed to do next.

But sometimes devastating endings force beautiful beginnings. As Charlie stumbles through awkward first dates and a new flat share, he discovers there's more to life than being someone's other half. The queer community he never dared explore beckons, promising friendship, adventure, and maybe even love. If only he can silence the nagging voice telling him he's Not Good Enough.

A heartwarming, story about finding yourself when life forces you to start again – because it's never too late to come out of your second closet and embrace who you truly are.
