I loved this book so much, the tender melancholy was beautiful throughout - I weirdly had the show Sex Education in my mind as I was reading it, the characters were all so funny and expressive. I also found all the usual problems with middle-aged men writing about sex absent and for the interactions between the protagonists to be authentically and movingly described - I felt so full of love when it was finished.
