About this ebook
Giles’ snobbier-than-thou, none-too-faithful boyfriend Hugh is equally horrified, and Oz, who’s always been secretive about his own family, starts acting very strangely.
It seems Giles is about to learn that good breeding has nothing to do with who your parents are!

Reviews for Good Breeding
16 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an interesting story about a man who discovers his past, or rather the circumstances of his birth and biological mother, aren't quite what he thinks. It is well written and led me along the path with him as he unveils the facts, and deals with them. Friends may not be who they seemed either, so Giles really has a lot to deal with here.
If you like stories about discovering who you really are (in the genetic sense), if you like the slow reveal of dawning truth, and if you're looking for a short read that might make you think, you will probably like this free book. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another one where JL Merrow shows off her knack for class code-switching dialogue to brilliant effect, while bringing a message of acceptance, kindness, and empathy.

Good Breeding
By J.L. Merrow
The bouquet of pink carnations in Giles’s hand was suffering slow strangulation as his nerves overtook him. He stood in the doorway of the pub he’d ducked into for a bit of Dutch courage, staring at the house opposite.
This was, quite possibly, the biggest day of his entire life. I can’t do it!
he hissed.
His friend Oz clapped him bracingly on the shoulder. Yes, you can,
he said firmly. Come on. What’s the worst that can happen?
"Easy for you to
