A very moving love story about heartbreak, hope, and discovering how to fall in love despite all the obstacles comes from the acclaimed author of Boyfriend Material. Ash Winters, who was once the shining star of the English literary world but is now a clinically depressed author of pulp crime fiction, has given up on hope, happiness, and?most importantly?himself. He is plagued by the ghosts of others' expectations as he navigates the cycles of his disease. Then he crosses paths by coincidence with Darian Taylor, who was born in Essex. Darian is flashy, loud, dazzling, and full of life?he couldn't be more different?but he still makes Ash laugh by showing him what it's like to get past his anxiety. However, Ash has long lived in the shadow of himself.
