A witty, moving, wonderfully honest novel that explores a decades-spanning friendship that might be something much more, from the acclaimed author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle and Becoming Ted.
Twenty years after they first met, Danny and Guy are returning to the confetti-strewn streets of the Gay Village for Manchester Pride. This weekend is a celebration of two decades of friendship, laughter, and adventures. It’s also where Danny hopes to finally reveal his secret. No matter how many other men he’s known, the only bond that has ever really mattered is the one that began the moment he met Guy during their first week at Manchester University.
For Guy, glimpsing Danny across the room that day was a revelation and a lifeline. Popular and outgoing, Danny arrived from his small hometown determined not to hide away any longer. He inspired Guy to come out, take risks, and pursue the kind of lasting relationships that Danny seems to have little interest in. Yet Guy knows that there is more to their shared history than he’s ever been brave enough to acknowledge. There are unspoken regrets, white lies, and convenient omissions—because Guy has his secrets too.
Over the course of one tumultuous weekend full of bittersweet memories and overdue revelations, both Danny and Guy will find the courage to confront who they were all those years ago—and who they might yet be to each other, and to themselves.
Heartfelt and emotionally rich, as romantic as it is surprising, this is a story of love and friendship, and all the complexities that lie between.
