    Summary

    Noel exhaled smoke through his nose. “There’s a lot of weird people about, Liam. And you’re a kid. You know what happens to kids fuckin’ about like you?”

    One day in 1996, a young Liam Gallagher — 20 years younger than his brother Noel — goes to Maine Road to see Oasis for the very first time. It should be the best day of Liam’s entire life. But backstage, and everywhere else since, Noel looks a little less like a god, and Liam begins to realise he might not know his brother at all.

    Summary

    Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.

    He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.

    “I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”

    --

    Summer 2019, 77-year-old Paul wakes up feeling surprisingly good. One tiny problem: he is back in December 1965.

    Summary

    “Say that again.”

    “Heroin,” Liam says, frowning like he doesn’t understand why Noel’s face has changed. “Just a bit. I’m alright.”

    And suddenly Noel is six years old again, sitting on his mam’s bed, staring at a baby who won’t cry, blood bright on his gums.

    Or; Liam has a condition where he can’t feel physical pain since birth.

    Summary

    "Noel was aware that his sudden need for company probably had something to do with the divorce.
    Just like Liam seemingly actually trying his best, complimenting his house and his fucking cooking skills and all that obviously had to do with his breakup with Debbie.
    They don't talk for fifteen years and as soon as the girls are out of the picture they're having breakfast together. Isn't it fucking ironic."
