About this listen

From the author of Becoming Ted and The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle, an 'utterly joyful' audiobook about love, friendship and identity.

Two men. Twenty years of friendship. One love.

2002

Danny arrives at Manchester University determined not to hide from the world any longer. This is the year his life will begin.

He locks eyes with a handsome stranger across the hall at the Fresher's Fair. It starts with a wink and soon Danny and Guy are best friends.

2022

Now, both single for the first time in years, Danny and Guy return to the confetti-covered streets of the Gay Village for Manchester Pride.

After years of shared adventures and lost dreams, Danny finally plans to share the secret he has been keeping for two decades. He has always been in love with Guy.

Could this weekend be the end of a twenty-year friendship...or the start of something new and even more beautiful?

This was lovely, at first glance it’s a Queer as Folk meets One Day-esque romcom and it does deliver in those regards, but there’s more heart, serious themes and analysis of queer love beneath that.
