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.
