xNEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S PICK - Two best friends. One huge crush. A year that could change everything...
A warmhearted, hilarious queer rom-com about what happens when a group of friends are actually brave enough to live the dream and give up their dreary city apartments to buy a house in the country together. - "Real Emily Henry vibes but gay. Joyous, funny, sexy, and romantic--a triumph!"--Kate Sawyer, award-winning author of The Stranding "Buoyant, charming, delectably wistful, and quietly earnest--not to mention, British enough to beguile even the subset of Americans who cuddle up to The Great British Bake Off on a Sunday afternoon." --Casey McQuiston, The New York Times "A delightful romance, complete with DIY home repair, a beautiful queer found family, and backyard hen." --Ashley Herring Blake, bestselling author of Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail El is in a rut. She's been hiding in the photocopier room at the same dead-end job for longer than she cares to remember, she's sharing a flat with a girl who leaves passive-aggressive smiley face notes on the fridge about milk consumption and, worst of all, she's been in unrequited love with her best friend, effortlessly cool lesbian Ray, for years. So when a plan is hatched for El, Ray, and their two other closest friends--newly heartbroken Will and karaoke-and-Twilight-superfan Jamie--to ditch the big city and move out to a ramshackle house on the edge of an English country village, it feels like just the escape she needs. Despite being the DIY challenge of a lifetime, the newly named Lavender House has all the makings of becoming the queer commune of the friends' dreams. (Will has been given a pass as the gang's Token Straight.) But as they start plotting their bright new future and making preparations for a grand housewarming party to thank the surprisingly but wonderfully welcoming community, El is forced to confront her feelings for Ray--the feelings that she's been desperately trying to keep buried. Is it worth ruining a perfectly good friendship for a chance at love? A VINTAGE ORIGINAL.
