Description
Discover the beautiful coming-of-age story about falling in-and-out of love, brimming with humour and heartbreak.
'Smart, hilarious and deeply moving' Elliot Page, author of Pageboy

------------------
It begins as your typical boy meets boy.
Tom and Ming meet on a night out at university and fall hard for each other. It's not long before they are planning a future and building a life.
Then Ming announces her intention to transition.
As Tom and Ming both face shifts in their relationship and confront the vastly different shapes their lives have taken, they must both ask if it is worth losing a part of themselves - or each other - to become the people they want to be.

Praise for Bellies-
