A Little bit about the book: Something old, something new, someone borrowed… Forty years ago, sixteen-year-old David was heartbroken when his family rejected him for coming out. Since then, he has vowed to always help anyone in need. So, when he finds a tearful young woman outside his flower shop, he can’t just walk away. Newly engaged, Meg should be overjoyed, but her conservative parents have made their disapproval painfully clear – leaving Meg devastated and wanting to call the whole wedding off. But David won’t let another young person be rejected. He offers to be Meg’s ‘stand-in dad’, diving headfirst into dress fittings, cake tastings, and venue visits to make sure Meg’s special day is unforgettable. Yet Meg’s parents’ absence looms large – and when disaster strikes, can David save the wedding in time? A little bit about the author: Alex Summers is the pseudonym for Jake Williams, a queer and neurodivergent writer from Milton Keynes who now lives in London with his partner. When he is not writing, he is reading or swimming. The Stand-in Dad is his first novel. You can find him on Twitter and Instagram under @jakeshaker. A little bit about the host: Andrew Flewitt (he/him) is the creator and host of Queer I Am, The Podcast, which has been nominated for an Independent Podcast Award. Andrew has been featured in Podbible, DIVA, BBC Radio Sussex, Latest TV Brighton, Scene Magazine and GX Magazine. They are based in Brighton, UK. Do You Believe in Life After Loss? is their first book.

It is worth a visit. The palace is very luxurious and exquisite not only at that time but also now. The Chinese elements are very shocking. Among the many castles and palaces in Europe, the Chinese elements are the main ones. You can also see the wallpaper, furniture and porcelain customized in Guangzhou, China at that time.

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you&rsquo;re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn&rsquo;t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March
