    Summary

    Thirty-something Nick and Charlie meet as trainee therapists at a psychology practice, and sparks fly immediately. Nick spent his life in an environment where he could never fully be himself, so he suppresses his emotions and shuns vulnerability like a pro. He still has a lot to learn, but he’s sincere and determined – if a little terrified – and when he loves, he does so fiercely and unapologetically. Charlie’s been through a lot, but he’s quite far along in his healing journey after therapy. These days, he’s no longer avoidant (no, really) and swears by his tried-and-true radical honesty policy, alongside a rock-solid coping style grounded in gallows humour and rationalisation. Cue a slow-burn emotional romance with two people learning to love and be loved as they are, lots of personal growth, an unflinching look at the harrowing realities of trauma, and a focus on the gritty, quietly powerful work of recovery.
