Nicola Dinan has delivered! This book tells the story of a couple trying to come to terms with their own grief and doubts. We are first introduced to Tom at the very beginning of the novel on his journey at university after figuring out his sexuality and breaking up with his girlfriend, Sarah. On a night out Tom is introduced to Ming, who is also trying to deal with her own internal anxieties which develop further when her relationship with Tom blossoms. The main one being her decision to transition into a woman which places tension and uncertainty between their own selves and the future of the relationship. This novel focuses on the topic of transitioning and what the process is like emotionally and physically, not just for the person experiencing it but also for their friends and family around them. It explores ideas of love, familiarity, grief, and friendship beautifully and the overall meaning behind the title is endearing to say the least.
