Description
Mel loves Sasha and dreams of a day that Sasha might reciprocate her feelings (even though she's straight) - so the fact that it's thirty degrees outside in January and hasn't rained for a year simply passes her by.
Mel is just about coping with being the only 'out' lesbian in school and all the sniping that Janis and Ella aim her way, as well as her dreary Saturday job with the stupidly posh Dorian... But when domestic animals suddenly lethally turn on the human race, and Mel finds herself stuck in a mansion with Dorian and Ella, her love-life suddenly turns on its head in the most extraordinary way.
A screamingly funny LGTBQ+ love story from a brilliant new talent.
A brilliantly funny apocalyptic LGBTQ+ love story from a new talent. Mel finds herself marooned after the apocalypse with her true love's boyfriend and school bully Ella - a complete disaster, she thinks - but her love-life turns on its head in the most extraordinary way (if she survives the apocalypse, that is).
About the Author
Olivia recently stumbled across a list of things they Could Not Do in September 1998, according to primary school administration. This included (but was not limited to): hopping three times on the same foot, walking up or downstairs without assistance, and running for one (ONE) metre without stopping.
Fortunately, since then they have become slightly more competent. They have, rather excessively, two degrees in Creative Writing and a Level 42 on Pokemon Go. They live in a highly curated gay little flat with their gay little Canadian partner (she really is very small), dreaming of the day they can adopt a gay little staffie and buy him pyjamas.
