Synopsis
NEW 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.
