Summary
At 21, Jamie writes his first book, a romance novel about an up and coming footballer who embodies everything Jamie isn’t: kind, caring, soft. Published under a pseudonym, it unexpectedly takes off, followed by a sequel in the same vein.
But his third book is different. This time, Jamie pours onto the page what he can’t say aloud: his father’s abuse, his sexuality, the suffocating weight of expectation. Only when he begins to find his place back at Richmond does he start to feel hope again, both for his book and his future.
Meanwhile, Roy, thanks to his yoga mums, becomes hooked on a series of novels by an anonymous author. He never expects one of them to put words to feelings he’s buried for years.
Or: An AU where Jamie Tartt is a successful author alongside his football career.
