'Funny, beautifully observed and moving' Adam Kay 'Tales Of The
City for a new generation . . . smart, touching, razor-sharp
one-liners, a life-affirming read . . . I fell utterly in love with
it' John Marrs 'Funny, kind, insightful book, about those who get
left behind' Russell T Davies Two brothers. Two different journeys.
The same hope of a magnificent future. At twenty-nine, Jake D'Arcy
has finally got his life just right. Job with prospects: check.
Steady girlfriend: check. Keeping his exhausting, boisterous family
at bay: check. So why isn't he happier? When his confident,
much-adored younger brother Trick comes out as gay to a rapturous
response, Jake realises he has questions about his own repressed
bisexuality, and that he can't wait any longer to find his answers.
As Trick begins to struggle with navigating the murky waters of
adult relationships, Jake must confront himself and those closest
to him. He's beginning to believe his own life could be
magnificent, if he can be brave enough to make it happen . . .

feel you know. And with, as ever, some enviably KILLER lines'

coming of age story is full of heart' Sunday Mirror 'Raw and
honest, more complex and real than most coming out stories' The i
