A warm and bittersweet novel about love, loneliness, coffee and the pitfalls of an ill-advised selfie, perfect for fans of Monica Heisey, Catherine Newman, Nora Ephron and Katherine Heiny.'Moriarty's uplifting debut has much in common with Ephron's classic novel Heartburn, covering as it does long-term love, casual sex and heartbreak.'

Eoin is doing great. He's 27, gainfully employed and in a long-term relationship with his boyfriend Rich. Okay, so his best friend Jax is diving into yet another disastrously bad relationship and Eoin's going to be the one dealing with the eventual fallout. And his boss at the café, Rebecca, seems to have vanished, so somehow Eoin's left managing the place. And to be honest, he's not got much else going on. But still, he's got his boyfriend Rich - steady, sensible and dependable Rich. That is, until Eoin's world is turned upside down when Rich announces that he wants an open relationship. Terrified of losing the man he loves, Eoin reluctantly agrees to this new arrangement, and stumbles into the world of dating with no strings attached.What could go wrong?******READERS ARE LOVING SOUNDS LIKE FUN:'I stayed up until midnight to binge read this in one go' READER REVIEW, 5*'An utterly gorgeous read with a compelling lead who had me rooting for him on every page' READER REVIEW, 5*'I gobbled this story up in just two sittings and will certainly recommend all my rom com loving pals pick it up' READER REVIEW, 5*'A witty and wise stroll through London's contemporary gay scene, bulging with humour and really great characters that I'm missing already' READER REVIEW, 5*'A fun and heartwarming read, with a depth of feeling that I perhaps wasn't fully expecting before I started' READER REVIEW, 5*
