📖 The Scoop
A mother searches for love for her autistic son with hilarious consequences in this laugh-out-loud novel from Kathy Lette.
As a crossword-addicted English teacher, Lucy never expected to be arrested for kerb-crawling. But her autistic twenty-year-old son Merlin is desperate to lose his virginity, and a sex worker seems like the only option... only Lucy picks up an undercover policewoman instead.
Let off with a suspended sentence, Lucy resigns herself to the fact that her son will never have sex, let alone find love... until the morning she miraculously discovers Merlin in bed with a girl. But is tough, tattooed Kayleigh just taking him for a ride? And what has brought Lucy's snake of an ex-husband wriggling back into their lives?
As all her best laid plans for Merlin's happiness chaotically unravel, will Lucy ever be able to cut her son's psychological umbilical cord and start to live her own life?
