    Summary

    Arthur's life is turned upside down when Uther announces his marriage to a woman his children barely know. Enter Hunith and her son, Merlin, who is everything Arthur is not: unapologetically loud-mouthed, rebellious, cocksure and unabashedly queer. He’s also every bloke Arthur ever had a crush on rolled into one, despite wearing a hideous combination of Oxfam bargain bin and Pride parade and playing obnoxious new rave music in a band called “i am magic”.

    His unfortunate attraction to Merlin isn’t the only thing Arthur has to deal with: His last year of sixth form lies ahead and satisfying his father’s expectations of becoming a lawyer like him suddenly seems impossible to reconcile with Arthur’s passion for drawing and sketching.

    Meanwhile Arthur and Merlin’s relationship runs through a quick succession from reluctant strangers to trading hostile insults to burgeoning friendship to somewhat fuck-buddies in the span of a couple of weeks.

    Life is all kinds of complicated and Arthur finally has no choice but to stand up for what he wants…
