PICK OF THE MONTH: ROMCOM
Making It
Laura Kay
Hooray! The queen of queer romcoms is back with another comforting must-read. Issy self-identifies as “gay and depressed”. So far, so relatable. When she moves with her chinchilla Abigail, from Margate to East London for a dream job, she is plunged into a whole new world. Laura’s books are known and adored for their warmth, humour and unapologetic queerness. All those things are here in Making It, along with an honest exploration of what it’s like to be LGBTQIA and navigating mental health issues. This witty, moving and ultimately life-affirming novel is about love, friendship and finding yourself.
