In a seaside town, in the south of England, Chris, a thirty-something loner, works at an art deco theater. She started here part-time and never left this low-level job. Her quiet, mundane life is interrupted by the arrival of a new employee Dan, a gay, troubled outsider and they spark up an instant friendship. He will change her life. I loved Chapman's latest GN, Follow Me in and wanted to try her earlier book. I was not disappointed. ( )

Forty-year-old Chris Williams is living a small, comfortable, drama-free life, working an unchallenging usher job at a three-screen movie theater in Brighton, England. Her new, easy-going co-worker seems to fit right into her groove, but as she brings him more deeply into her life he begins to upend her tidy little apple cart.

Very, very low-key domestic drama unfolds in a slow but satisfying manner.

Trigger warnings: suicide attempts, mental health issues, borderline personality disorder ( )
