'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 . . .
'Just wonderful. Warm, funny and believable, with characters you
feel you know. And with, as ever, some enviably KILLER lines'
Marina O'Loughlin 'MAGNIFICENT. It's all about the complicated
issues of families and sexuality, the writing is pacy, smart and
funny, and the storytelling is first-rate' Adam Kay, bestselling
author of This is Going to Hurt 'Wonderful . . . touching on all
the psychological intricacies, and the ripples of social and family
consequences [of coming out]. But it's just as much a book about
sibling love and the value of friendship. Populated with a
likeable, diverse and witty cast of characters, it's a sure-footed
narrative about finding your feet.' The Irish Times 'With razor
sharp observation, this coming of age story is full of heart'
Sunday Mirror 'Raw and honest, more complex and real than most
coming out stories' The i Paper More praise for Justin Myers:
'Original, compelling, touching and funny' Francesca Hornak, author
of Seven Days of Us 'A funny, keenly observed tale about
relationships and identity' Red Magazine 'Brilliant. I fell in love
with Jake and there was something special about reading the
brothers' stories unfold while keeping one eye on my own
magnificent sons playing in our garden' The Unmumsy Mum 'Extremely
funny, with real heart, depth and resonance' Daisy Buchanan
'Insightful, heartfelt and witty' Laura Jane Williams 'So funny and
sharp, yet tender and emotional too' Jill Mansell 'Brilliant, funny
and incisive' Stylist
