From the author of Becoming Ted and The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle, a new ‘utterly joyful’ audiobook about love, friendship and identity.
Two men. Twenty years of friendship. One love.
*Pre-order the uplifting new audiobook from Matt Cain*
2002
Danny arrives at Manchester University determined not to hide from the world any longer. This is the year his life will begin.
He locks eyes with a handsome stranger across the hall at the Fresher’s Fair. It starts with a wink and soon Danny and Guy are best friends.
2022
Now, both single for the first time in years, Danny and Guy return to the confetti-covered streets of the Gay Village for Manchester Pride.
After years of shared adventures and lost dreams, Danny finally plans to share the secret he has been keeping for two decades. He has always been in love with Guy.
Could this weekend be the end of a twenty-year friendship . . . or the start of something new and even more beautiful?

Utterly absorbing and affecting. Matt Cain is one of the most entertaining and illuminating writers out there
Rich, poignant, funny and unflinchingly honest . . . a glorious, heart-warming and thought-provoking read
A warm, nostalgic and intimate portrayal of the complexities of friendship, and the changing face of being gay and staying strong in a world that's learning to accept us, but still doesn't always understand us
Sincere, moving and authentic . . . I loved, loved, loved this book

What a wonderful book . . . a heartwarming, nostalgia-inducing tale of friendship and love that puts a huge smile on your face
Unfolding over a twenty-year period and bookended by two Gay Pride events in Manchester . . . the result is touching, funny, poignant and brilliant
A beautiful, deeply human exploration of the blurred lines between love and friendship that exist in the queer community, with a tender understanding that the most important love of all can be the love and forgiveness we hold for ourselves
A fresh, heart-warming spin on the gay romcom which explores love beyond the best friend/boyfriend binary. I loved it
More than its incredible characterisation, One Love is a heart-warming study of love, friendship and growing up
