Publisher's Summary
Danny Scudd is absolutely fine. At 27 years old, he's finally moved to London and escaped his parents' tiny fish and chip shop, his beloved collection of house plants are thriving and every Monday evening he has a date night with his boyfriend, Tobbs.
But Danny's life is thrown into chaos when he discovers at an STI clinic that Tobbs might be cheating on him. And then he—and his plants—are unceremoniously evicted from his London flat. So, he's forced to move in with his best friend Jacob, a non-binary artiste who Danny's known since childhood.
For the first time, and with the help of his inscrutable therapist and colourful new flatmates, Danny realises how little he knows about himself—and slowly starts to question whether he is fine, after all....
An honest, hilarious and wickedly smart drama comedy about a shy young gay man who's made it through life by not really interacting with his sexuality. Perfect for fans of Ghosts by Dolly Alderton, Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan and How Do You Like Me Now? by Holly Bourne.

There’s 11 hours of my life I won’t get back
I was disappointed with this book and actually feel I wasted my credit for this month.
The characters were outlandish and the storyline was not enjoyable. An attempt was made to show character progression of the protagonist but it certainly succeeded in showing what a twat Daniel is. The many subplots were distracting and the characters seemed to actually make a parody of the LGBTQ+ community which I think is the opposite of what the author intended. It was a bit of a slog to get through.
