Romance LGBTQ
Sparks fly in this opposites‑attract whirlwind gay romance for fans of Alexis Hall and Rachel Reid.
A candid exploration of identity and the love we deserve, this steamy rom‑com will remind you that sometimes you have to get a little lost before you can find yourself.
Daniel Wu's life in Amsterdam is far from spontaneous. When his boyfriend dumps him on the same day a work mishap lands him on leave, he breaks all his rules by impulsively escaping to Beijing to visit his best friend, Poppy.
There's just one hitch‑Poppy isn't there.
Alone in the foreign city his late father grew up in, Daniel wants nothing more than to fly home early. After all, running away is what he does best. But then Poppy signs him up for a tour of the Great Wall.
Enter Yang Li, the PhD student moonlighting as a tour guide. A transplant to Beijing, Yang has never felt at home in the bustling capital‑or with himself. Cynical and disciplined, he isn't the least impressed when Daniel shows up to their tour hours late. The tour is painful in more ways than one, but at least it's a one‑time ordeal.
Then life pushes them together again and again, until time spent together over stunning sights and mind‑blowing eats feels less like vacation and more like finally finding home.
From Beijing, to Xi'an, to Tokyo, will they confront their own ghosts‑past and present‑to find their happily‑ever‑after?
Brimming with humor, wanderlust, and emotional vulnerability, this charming debut is perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alison Cochrun.
