Plus One by Adam Longden

Description

Sonny is a single man, a disillusioned deli-chef, drifting towards forty. He has much on his mind, money being the main worry, but he is also caring for his elderly father who has Parkinson’s and doesn’t see enough of his children.  When he is asked to be a plus-one as a favour for his boss, life takes an unexpected turn into the murky world of male escorting.  Before long the reluctant Sonny is earning money beyond his wildest dreams, but for how long will he be able to keep his side hustle secret?

Full of humour and pathos, this charts one man’s determination to change his and his children’s lives for good.  Set in Bingham, Nottinghamshire.
