Stepping Out — Fearne Hill

The second novel in the Johnson Road trilogy and Alex, Jasper and Sophie continue to navigate their newly cemented love, with eyes fixed firmly on the future and each other. But are they strong enough to weather a sophisticated older lady threatening to turn Alex's head, and will Jasper finally succumb to Alex's persistent flirtatious overtures or will Alex push him a step too far? And how on earth do you drop the delicate matter of being part of a threesome into a conversation with one's frosty, conservative parents? Elsewhere, Hugo demonstrates his impressive hip action to Katy whilst simultaneously learning some shocking facts about Frederick of Prussia, Sophie enjoys the delights of a wintry Kinsale, and Alex has a foo-foo related panic attack. Oh, and he finally learns how to turn on the washing machine.
