About this deal

The world Lizzie Huxley-Jones has built feels so strong, and the secondary characters feel beautifully fleshed out. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

But unfortunately end it must, so here I am writing this review and wondering how quickly I can read it all again. Characters that you want to spend time with, shenanigans left right and centre, a fat queer disabled romance where none of the obstacles to the romance are to do with fatness, queerness or disability, and some really lovely friendships as well as the central couple, who are so so cute and so very gay. I actually enjoyed reading about Haf and Christopher’s growing friendship (and the other friendships of the novel) as much as I did Haf’s sapphic longing for Kit. Rep: Haf is white, fat and bisexual and has face blindness, Kit is white and lesbian and is disabled (uses a walking cane), Christopher is white and bisexual, Ambrose is Chinese-British (please forgive me if I got this wrong, I scoured for concrete proof, but all I saw was "Lunar New Year" and their surname is Liew) and non-binary.

The representation throughout the book is incredible and provides such variety, plus each character is more than just their labeled identity. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. There’s excellent and very intense romantic tension between Haf and her love interest, too, which is guaranteed to keep readers turning pages quickly.

We are often surrounded by food during the Christmas period and there were discussions about Haf’s relationship with food within the book. Haf is such an endearing and charming protagonist with a heart of gold, and her friend-turned-fake-boyfriend Christopher is utterly precious too. The million copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and. Her non-binary flatmate and best friend Ambrose drags her along to a holiday party, where she meets the handsome Christopher, who is clearly very posh and admits to working in finance in London.You are immediately thrown into her Christmas dilemma and her life which I like in a book, you become invested very early on.

Haf’s parents are warm and funny, Haf’s fake boyfriend is kind and thoughtful, and I really enjoyed how his parents and family resolve their differences in the end. So many people’s autism is missed as children and so they end up finding out later in life, like I did, hence my little Author’s Note at the back.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The humour was on par too, some seriously decent laughs in this so if you want a romance with a comedic edge this is for you. In an oops moment, Haf falls hard for Christopher’s sister which leads to more hilarity and sexy moments. They are the editor of Stim , an anthology of autistic authors and artists, which was published by Unbound in April 2020 to coincide with World Autism Awareness Week. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Laura Kay and Carol—this is sheer festive joy as you've always wanted to see it.
