    'I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN' SHON FAYE


    'A MASTERPIECE. THIS SEARING TALE OF LOVE, SEX AND CLASS WILL RESONATE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME' OWEN JONES


    'Electric and intimate' Guardian


    'Impossibly, ineffably beautiful' Russell T Davies


    'Intoxicating' Irish Times


    This city stops for no-one. Not the half-naked boozers, stoners, and cruisers, the hen parties glugging from bejewelled bottles, the drag queens puffing on hurried fags. It's June 2019 in London and everyone has converged on the parks, beer gardens and street corners to revel in the collective joys of being alive.


    Everyone but Maggie. She's 30, pregnant and broke. Faced with moving back to the town she fought to escape, she's wondering if having a baby with boyfriend Ed will be the last spontaneous act of her life. Ed, meanwhile, is trying to run from his past with Maggie's best friend Phil and harbouring secret dreams of his own.


    Phil hates his office job and is living for the weekend, while falling for his housemate, Keith. But there's a problem: Keith has a boyfriend and there might not be room for three people in the relationship. Then there's Rosaleen, Phil's mother, who's tired of feeling like a side character in her own life. She's just been diagnosed with cancer and is travelling to London to tell Phil, if she can ever get hold of him.


    As Saturday night approaches, all their lives are set to change forever. It's the hottest summer on record and the weekend is about to begin...
