The debut collection of short fiction from the author of Polari Prize longlisted One Last Song. Nine stories, nine characters—one for each youthful year.
 
One young queer goes on their first protest. Another goes up to Oxford and finds first love. One seeks connection in submission. Another young queer discovers their superpower. Spanning metrosexual metropolises and unknown universes, the end of the twentieth century to the end of the world as we 
know it, these tender tales are told with inventiveness and wit.
 
‘A smart, insightful collection, where story sparkles with rich, engaging prose and the perfect balance of humour and poignancy. An absolute joy to read!’—KATHY HOYLE
