Trade Review
I had to read it in one sitting. I loved it! Really heart-warming and joyful, but also so poignant. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It's such a beautifully authentically told story with vivid characters and you will miss them when you reach the end. * LORRAINE KELLY *

'Albert is one of the most endearing characters I've met in a long time . . . Proof that it's never too late to find a happy ending' * SUSAN WIGGS, New York Times bestselling author *
Wonderful. Written with such a good heart, filled with joy and strength and optimism. Like the best fiction, it's real; Albert's fears, the sour legacy of his parents, his colleagues' kindness, George flourishing from boy to man . . . It's inventive and fun but, most importantly, true. * RUSSELL T. DAVIES *
This rollicking love story entrapped me, chapter by chapter. True in its detail and its scope, it is amusing yet heart-breaking. It will encourage tentative young gay people and reassure their parents. Its passionate declaration? That it's never too late to enjoy being yourself. * IAN McKELLEN *
Beautiful . . . You will weep and yet have your heart filled with joy * ARLENE PHILLIPS *
Tender, witty, uplifting . . . I love it! * KATE EBERLEN *
