Arthur and Teddy Are Coming Out by Ryan Love

emotional lighthearted medium-paced
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

This was good, but ultimately a bit too rom-commy for my taste. I have a weakness for older narrators, so the Arthur chapters were definitely my favourite. I loved seeing his growth, learning his life story and seeing him really enjoy the later stage of his life (+ his wonderful and supportive wife was a joy to read about).

I do wish there has been a bit more accountability for characters messing up, and I missed more focus on Teddy's relationship with his friends. 

There is a really good cast of characters here though, and I think a lot of people with really like this. I'd definitely recommend this for fans of romantic comedies, especially if you also appreciate a big focus on familial relationships.

Despite being mostly lighthearted it does though on heavy topics, especially homophobia.
