Lovesick - Paperback

by Marina Ford (Author)

Friday, 23 January The cat funeral. Yeah, that happened today. I went and participated in-aided and abetted?-a cat funeral. London life is tough on idealists. In an ideal world, after years of flirtation, Leo would be cosily settled down with Jack, his long-time crush. In an ideal world, Jack wouldn't now be engaged to a woman. And in an ideal world, Leo would move on. When handsome new neighbour Alex moves in opposite Leo, an opportunity to do so presents itself. But Alex is working class, poorer than Leo, and probably straight. While Jack's engagement unravels, and Leo's friendship with Alex deepens, will Leo manage to find happiness with the right man? Or will he succumb to his enemies: self-doubt, family expectations, and pride? Told in diary form, this is both the story of a love triangle in London and the chronicle of a man's struggles to confront his self-image and overcome his insecurity.
