It jumps between Arthur, a 79 year old grandfather who has just come out to his family, and his grandson Teddy, who is also gay and struggling to find his place in the World. He felt surly and like he was blaming everyone else for his issues, but his heart was in the right place and it was clear that he and Teddy neaded each other. To me, “Arthur and Teddy are Coming Out” is marketed as this lighthearted, heartwarming little book about a grandpa and a grandson both coming out to their family members as being gay.

Like we get it, Shakeel is in love with Teddy himself, but that doesn’t allow him to go be so awful to Ben about it?This story is perfect for you if you love queer romances and are in need of a great book that you'll finish in no time because of the writing style and story itself.

Anyway, they set aside this animosity eventually and start dating, at which point, the real travesty happens. Both Arthur and Teddy are engaging main characters, and there is a good balance so you’re never itching to get back to the other narrator.

Without spoiling the plot, alongside the main narrative of coming to terms with sexuality, there are deeper issues such as mental health that are dealt with here in ways that might pull up readers in shock. The bond between Arthur and Teddy is something that stands out in the book, making their stories well-connected rather than two different elements.

Too often, queer literature is enjoyed only by the LGBT+ community, but this is a novel ready to be loved by the masses. Wir alle brauchen eine Madeleine in unserem Leben - eine Person, die immer zu uns hält und immer an uns glaubt, egal was kommt. Over the months that follow life for Arthur and Teddy includes: some nasty gossips, a secret crush, a dare-devil stunt for charity, a television appearance, a long-lost love, a teen suicide, long-held secrets, loyal friends, a gay bar, an engagement, a betrayal of trust, a surprise reunion, a vivacious eighty-two-year-old friend, and a double wedding. Before I start my review I just want to say how happy I am about the Note to Readers at the start of the book that highlights all the accessibility features that this ebook has if needed, I really appreciate things like this as my daughter has dyslexia and she needs a green background to be able to read anything, thank you. excellently well thought out family and friendship dynamics and a bit of a subversion of expectations when it comes to happy endings.REVIEW ⚠️cw: homophobia, bigotry ⚠️At the age of 79, Arthur Edwards shocks his family by telling them he's gay. I really loved how supportive Madeleine was throughout, and I particularly loved Arthur and Teddy's conversations with each other, and the one about Jack had me sobbing. Although, can you blame him, when the first time you meet the guy, he spends the night being an absolute dickwad to you, unprovoked? I enjoyed his relationship with Madeleine too - she is such a strong lady, and the kind of ally we all need. The problem I have with some things getting skipped or not getting enough explanation is that this story, even though it's feel-good, handles really serious problems.
