Bryan Moriarty and Laura Kay in conversation at Waterstones Piccadilly

Join us for a very exciting Pride RomCom panel with Bryan Moriarty and Laura Kay. From Bryan Moriarty comes Sounds Like Fun, a warm and bittersweet novel about love, loneliness, coffee and the pitfalls of an ill-advised selfie. From the Queen of queer romcom Laura Kay comes Wild Things, which sees the listless El get more than she bargained for when she buys a house in the countryside with her chosen family – and her crush.
