Matt Cain!! He did it again. A bittersweet heart wrencher about the different ways to be queer, the ways you can love a person - and the ways our unresolved trauma can affect how we do both. Danny & Guy have been dancing around the truth hidden behind their friendship for decades; Danny's planned them a weekend at Manchester Pride to celebrate their 20 years of friendship - and he plans to finally tell Guy how he's felt since the day they met as first years in uni. The plot bounces around through the ebbs and flows of their history in a way that reveals every detail with perfect timing. I did quite a bit of gasping in the second half!! Truly a tale of “If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”
