About this listen

'A masterful love letter to queer joy' Justin Myers, author of The Fake-Up

'Heartbreaking, hopeful, funny. Rarely have I rooted so hard for a character. I loved it!' Suzi Ruffell

Issy is an artist but the world doesn't know it yet.

As someone who self-identifies as 'gay and depressed', Issy keeps her life in Margate small: her mum, her chinchilla, her reliable routine.

So when she is offered her dream job at an artist's studio, Issy knows it's time to open herself up to more.

Moving to East London, Issy has a lot of firsts to catch up on - navigating a crush on her gorgeous housemate, dating, sex, and obsessing over her boss who she just can't seem to figure out.

As pressure mounts, people keep telling Issy she can do anything she sets her mind to. But what if her mind refuses to cooperate . . . ?

The latest must-listen romcom about friendship, love and finding yourself, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Bolu Babalola.

'I adored Making It . . . Truly nuanced, sensitive and warm-hearted' Emma Hughes, author of It's Complicated

'Hopeful and hilarious, gentle and wise . . . with squeal-out-loud romantic lines that had me swooning' Lily Lindon, author of Double Booked

'Tender, wonderfully funny and desperately human' Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Make You Mine This Christmas

'A gorgeous feel-good romcom that brought back all the feels . . . the perfect coming-of-age-when-you-leave-home novel' Tania Tay, author of The Other Woman

Quite brutal at points

This book is pretty brutal on the mental health side. Properly tear inducing at points. I really enjoyed the book but I definitely missed the normal Laura Kay humour from her earlier stories. The Split had me laughing out loud loads but with this book I only have memory of one out loud funny moment. A good listen on audiobook but also pretty hard at points.

Laura is the best for rom-com

To find an author whom can give you a laught and goosebumps almost on the same sentence is difficult to find, and when the subjects are related to lesbians, queer people is more than amazing. The narrator, is a big thumbs up for me!
