I’ve been keen to read Matt Cain for a while having read rave reviews for Albert Entwhistle.

I absolutely adored Becoming Ted. A story of accepting yourself for who you are and reaching for your dreams, I found it an inspiring read. I loved the characters, their flaws and all, but extra special love is reserved for Stanley who I think deserves his own book for being so flipping fabulous!
Whilst a wonderful read full of fun, it doesn’t shy from tough subjects. The treatment of gay men throughout history, and elsewhere in the world contrasts sharply with the sweet romance. How can love be wrong? I particularly enjoyed Ted’s ‘scene’ at the nursing home!!

I’m very excited to read more from Matt Cain in future, in the meantime I’m still enjoying the warm hug it feels as if he’s still giving me
