Thanks to Netgalley and Broom Bridge Books for a copy of this book.

This is set in 2006 - 2007 and follows the lives of 4 different characters in Dublin and London.

Jo's life in Dublin has been turned upside down after her girlfriend Louise leaves her for another woman.

Rob has fallen for older boyfriend, Michael but his need to look after his grieving mother puts a strain on the relationship.

Rachel has recently moved to London and started dating Stuart but is struggling with her sexuality after meeting Kim, a woman from her past.

Noel moves in with relatives as he's having difficulty managing his diabetes.

This 1st half of this book is a slow build-up and it drags for a time, but in the 2nd half when all the storylines come together the pace really picks up and turns into a real page turning.

Fagan brings us unique characters (all part of the LGBTQIA+ community) with stories not found much in fiction. I loved Noel the best, and felt like he deserves his own book.

Looking forward to seeing what Karen Fagen will write next.
