Let Your Heart Be Light by J.R. Lawrie
5.0
Absolute perfection.
This book focuses on two couples with three short stories which give the initial meetings of each pair and a bonus second dip into Zach and Richard's life.
JR's writing has such charm to it. Both romances are set in London but they're different in tone.
David and Julian's is the filling being bookended by Zach and Richard's extraordinarily impressive storyline and I'd absolutely kill for a full length novel with them.
Not to take anything away from the doctor and his upstairs neighbour come patient.
Theirs is a sweet, bumbling fall into feelings after Julian has an accident which puts him in David's loving hands.
But Zach and Richard are special. If you've ever seen the British TV show Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, then you'll see little nods and hints in this book to what goes on behind the scenes of the "corridors of power".
I loved it so hard. The first story, of how they meet, is wonderfully funny, although I internally cried when Zach described Richard as an older man when his Twitter handle included a 1978 birthdate.
Guess it's time to face up to my own impending half century
