Matt Cain Christmas Bonus: One Love, Life Reflections, & The Books He Loves

🎄 Best Book Forward | The Christmas Chapter – Bonus Episode: Matt Cain MBE

In this Christmas bonus episode of Best Book Forward, I’m thrilled to welcome back Matt Cain MBE for a catch-up on everything he’s been up to since we last spoke.

It’s been an extraordinary year for Matt, from receiving his MBE at Windsor Castle to sharing the powerful story of coming out again as autistic. In this conversation, we explore what these moments have meant to him and how they’ve shaped both his life and his writing.

We also revisit his beautiful novel One Love, and Matt gives us an exclusive glimpse into what he’s working on next, it sounds absolutely brilliant.

Of course, no episode of Best Book Forward would be complete without some irresistible book recommendations to add to your festive reading list.
