About this listen

From the author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle.

A charming, joyful and surprising story about love, friendship and learning to be true to yourself, Becoming Ted will steal your heart.

Ted Ainsworth has always worked at his family's ice cream business in the quiet Lancashire town of St Luke's-on-Sea.

He doesn't even like ice cream, though he's never told his parents that. When Ted's husband suddenly leaves him, the bottom falls out of his world.

But what if this could be an opportunity to put what he wants first? This could be the chance to finally follow his secret dream: something Ted has never told anyone ...

What a fantastic new book from Matt Cain. I listened to the Audio book and snorted with laughter. Great characters, brilliantly drawn and a 'How to' for all those amazing wannabe drag queens out there. A huge thank you. just what I needed in a dark and dreary January.

Should be available on the NHS

I discovered Matt Cain’s audio books completely by accident whilst searching for something new to add to my library and immediately on listening to the sample, I knew that I had found a jewel among authors whose choice of reader was absolutely perfect. This is the second book from Matt Cain that I have listened to and which I have enjoyed immensely. I am now going back to search for another gem to add to my collection.

Magnificent

I loved Albert Entwistle and Matt has done it again bringing the gorgeous Ted into our lives.

As a Northerner living in exile, the expressions and reminders of growing up in the North West are ever present

A really uplifting, feel good read

Fabulous from start to finish
