Summary
Once he’d started reading, he couldn’t stop, eyes filling with tears as he took in each and every venom-soaked word. A sob punched out of him, and before he knew it, he’d lost control entirely, awful sobs wracking through him as he leaned against the wall for support. Just as he was about to be grateful for the empty street, a woman stepped out of the building he leaned against, a look of pity in her eyes.
“You’d better come on inside, love,” she said quietly, “You’ll catch your death out here. I’ll get you a cuppa.”
Eyes flicking to the sign on the door, he saw that his temporary refuge from the torrential downpour was a tea shop. With a shy nod, he stepped inside, the woman behind him. She flipped the ‘Open’ sign to ‘Closed’, and ushered him further into the small shop.
“You can sit,” she said, gesturing to a row of stools at the counter as she got to work, preparing two cups of tea, “What’s your name, love?”
He sniffled, “I’m Charlie. Sorry about all of this - I’m just… lost, I guess.”

Summary
After a troubled youth, Charlie Spring has found his calling as a mental counsellor for pupils and people in rehab. One day he meets Nick Nelson, a very successful rugby player, whose accident on the field might end his career, forcing him to reorganise his life. Adding the instant fascination Nick has for Charlie to the mix, he might have to rethink his sexual orientation as well. It's a lot, but as they get to know each other, it becomes obvious that sometimes the right person can go a long way to make you learn a thing or two about yourself.

Summary
At 28 years old, Nick Nelson is the top singer in the UK, and his agent is convinced that the next step is to write an autobiography. Despite Nick's early protests, he hires a ghostwriter he finds attractive in the hopes that it'll make the experience more bearable (spoiler alert: it does). There's nothing quite like meeting the love of your life and immediately spilling all your secrets to him.
At 27, Charlie Spring is an author fresh out of a two-year-long relationship, and with few of his preferred projects under his belt. When he's approached by the agent of a singer he's practically obsessed with, he agrees to the job despite his nerves. Upon meeting the star, he realizes that, oh shit, he's kind of perfect. Moving to the other side of England, away from everything he knows, has never seemed more appealing.

Summary
Nick is now 25. Him and Charlie didn’t go to school together and never met. Nick is freshly out of a relationship with a woman named Josephine (Jo for short) that ended badly after he realized he was bisexual and came out to her. Nick has accepted that he’s bisexual, but he has yet to get into a relationship with a guy. He’s starting to feel ready to explore that part of his identity. Despite knowing this, he’s not exactly looking to meet anyone yet, as he’s still healing from his past relationship ending. Rather than going out, or getting on dating apps, he’s spending his time working on himself. Then, one night he gets an accidental text from the one and only Charlie Spring that changes his life forever.
