Rainbows and Lollipops - Mo Fanning

THREE FRIENDS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE SUMMER. When Jake met Tom, he thought he'd left Birmingham's gay bars behind forever-until a twist of fate lands him back in his childhood bedroom, sleeping under glow-in-the-dark stars. Vicky, an ambitious lawyer and lifelong loner, has her life meticulously planned-until threats emerge that no power suit or clever argument can fix. Lucy has planned every detail of her wedding down to the perfect petals-but "happily ever after" comes with a question mark. Set against the backdrop of the troubled British summer of 2024, Rainbows and Lollipops weaves together three lives in a warm, witty, and unflinching story about love, loss, and the families we choose. Perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary, Mhairi McFarlane, and Dolly Alderton, this binge-worthy novel explores friendship as the new family in a world where connection is everything.
