The book takes inspiration from E M Forster and the writer's long-term relationship with Bob Buckingham and his wife. The novel is set in late 1950s Brighton and unfolds through the twin narratives of Marion and Patrick, who write about the man at the centre of both their lives.

I only read this because I'd literally die for Harry Styles. I didn't actually expect to love this book. 10/10 highly recommend.
