A heartfelt and heartbreaking queer summer romance to remember, perfect for fans of They Both Die at the End.

Last year, Iggy almost drowned, losing all memory of their magical Mediterranean holiday. Determined to piece together the fragments of their forgotten summer, they return to Europe to retrace their steps, from the sun-drenched shores of St. Tropez to the colossal ruins of Rome.

When their paddleboard bumps into the gorgeous but mysterious Roscoe, Iggy realises that this trip is the perfect chance to make new memories - ones they'll always remember.

But as the sun sets on their summer romance, will Paris - the iconic city of love - be the start of a new life for Iggy and Roscoe, or their last chance to say goodbye?

About the Author

Daniel Tawse lives on the north east coast. He spent his childhood going on adventures in the wilds of Northumberland, and teenage years writing diaries about how much he didn't fit in. Nowadays, Daniel turns those diaries into stories and is an advocate for queer representation and visibility in the arts. Elsewhere, Daniel has studied Musical Theatre at the Arts Educational Schools, London, and holds a master's degree in History from the University of Northumbria.
