Too many kayaks for my liking. Jokes. I'm a late 40's lesbian who was quite recently 'on the apps' and frankly, either I'm just jealous or disbelieving. There's clearly a parallel universe that's not what dating is like in, fair enough, London. Needed m ...more |

"Interesting discussion at book club today on this one. Heartbreaking in lots of places, relatable in lots of ways. Just such sadness in this story, told very well"
