There's Something You Should Know About Ted by Matt Cain
4.0
Having read 'The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle' by Matt Cain last year I was keen to read his latest offering and hoped this book would live up to the high expectations I had of it based on his last book. Whilst I don't think it was quite as good as 'The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle' it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read, narrated extremely well in the audiobook version.
The book centres around Ted, a middle-aged gay man,who once freed up from his not so nice husband Giles, embarks on a life-affirming journey to find his true self. The topics of friendship, identity, prejudice and love are skilfully explored with the aid of several peripheral characters who all play their parts in Ted's journey to freedom.
I did feel the book lacked a bit of pace at times but nonetheless was still a heart-warming, feel-good read.
I am grateful to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book and am leaving my review voluntarily.
