My Policeman by Bethan Roberts

4.0

"I tell you all this, Patrick, so you'll know how it was between me and Tom. So you'll know there was tenderness, as well as pain. So you'll know how we failed, both of us, but also how we both tried."

I initially picked up this book because I'm planning on watching the movie starring Harry Styles, and of course, I need to read the book first. Most people probably start reading this book expecting a romance, but this book isn't a romance. This story is about being gay in the 1950s, complex relationships, friendships, mistakes and regrets, and love that comes in different ways.
It was a beautifully written story, and I can't wait to see it on film.
