Rainbows and Lollipops – by Mo Fanning, Author of LGBTQ+ Fiction

Told in six ‘episodes’ like a binge-worthy streaming drama, three lost souls collide in the turbulent UK summer of 2024. Love, loss, and identity pull them apart—until an unlikely friendship changes everything.

Jake, grieving the sudden loss of his partner Tom, faces eviction from the flat they shared when Tom’s sister—who blames Jake for her brother’s death—demands he leave. When Jake’s employer forces him to take compassionate leave, he retreats to a place where silence might give him space to process his overwhelming grief.

Vicky, a Black trans woman whose workaholic tendencies have elevated her to senior partner at her Birmingham law firm, has everything worked out—until anonymous threats make her realize how vulnerable she truly is. Behind her self-curated Ice Queen reputation lies a woman desperate for genuine connection.

Lucy has always been the golden girl, but behind her perfectly curated life there’s a woman suffocated by expectation. With a controlling father, a fiancé she’s not sure she can trust, and a wedding she doesn’t even want, Lucy is reaching her breaking point.

As their paths collide at the rundown Victorian retreat house, Jake, Vicky, and Lucy learn to lean on one another to face the challenges of love, loss, and identity, discovering that when the family we’re born into isn’t enough, the family we choose can be everything.

Written in Mo Fanning’s distinctive style that merges traditional novel storytelling with the visual language of television screenplays, Rainbows and Lollipops unfolds across six binge-worthy episodes, creating a heartwarming, bittersweet exploration of grief, grit, and the power of chosen family.
