Leo's content to be in the background, letting his louder, more charismatic best friends shine. For a thirty-something gay people pleaser it's always been safer that way.
But, suddenly, a gorgeous love interest from the past steps out of the wings, Leo's pushed to his limits by his overenthusiastic new boss and - strangest of all - he begins to question whether the friends he loves so dearly have been holding him back.
For the first time ever, the spotlight is on Leo. But a spotlight reveals everything. And now all the things Leo has hidden away in darkness are in full focus. If he's to get everything he's ever wanted, Leo will need to face his past, and the future, head on. But he might not like everything he sees.

-
Hilarious jokes, characters you desperately want to hang out with and an emotional depth that means you will never forget Leo's story. Justin is one of our smartest, most perspicacious writers. He's hugely entertaining . . . Leading Man shines like a star - Veronica HenryThis is Justin Myers' best novel yet, a funny and brutally honest look at relationships in all their forms. Witty, relatable and with real depth. I devoured it. - Louise HareLeading Man is just what I needed: it's snappy, sharp, perceptive, and brim-full of wit and heart. I laughed out loud several times and genuinely did not know what to expect. It's messy reality, but much better. - Julie CohenI completely adored Leading Man - the writing is rife with Justin's gorgeous trademark humour and I didn't stop laughing . . . and then crying. I can't wait for the world to read this book, and I will be recommending it to everyone I know. - Lucy VineA fun and engaging modern romance - BestA sweet, funny and moving read - StylistA masterpiece of light and dark - it's hugely emotionally resonant and it tackles serious themes with real skill. But it's ferociously funny, too. I laughed, I cried, I savoured every Sondheim reference - and when I finished I wanted to give it a standing ovation. - Daisy BuchananLeading Man is as hilarious as you'd expect from the king of the witty one liner, but it's also bursting with heart and soul. This is Justin Myers' best novel yet! - Laura Price
