´Funny, beautifully observed and moving´ Adam Kay

´Tales Of The City for a new generation . . . smart, touching, razor-sharp one-liners, a life-affirming read . . . I fell utterly in love with it´ John Marrs

´Funny, kind, insightful book, about those who get left behind´ Russell T Davies

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.´ The Irish Times

´With razor sharp observation, this coming of age story is full of heart´ Sunday Mirror

´Raw and honest, more complex and real than most coming out stories´ The i Paper
