   Summary

   Meet Duncan, the oblivious Irish rugby coach. Valarr, the American business student who’s new to London and would rather be reading poetry. Daeron, the guitarist who’s funny because he’s depressed. And Aerion, the pub rockstar convinced he’ll always get what he wants.

   The night they met, none of them knew that their lives would be forever intertwined.

   A little story about found family, slow-burn romance, lots of banter, family drama (and comedy), grief, and healing.
