Men in Love by Irvine Welsh Makes Top 5 in The Times Bestseller List

Aug 6, 2025

We are delighted to announce that Irvine Welsh’s sequel to Trainspotting Men in Love is now number 4 on The Sunday Times bestseller list less than two weeks after it’s release.

Men in Love follows a new era for the Trainspotting crew– a time for hope, for love, for raving.

Leaving heroin behind and separated after a drug deal gone wrong, Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie each want to feel alive. They fill their days with sex and romance and trying to get ahead; they follow the call of the dance floor, with its promise of joy and redemption.

Sick Boy starts an intense relationship with Amanda, his ‘princess’ – rich, connected, everything that he is not. When the pair set a date for their wedding, Sick Boy sees a chance for his generation to take control at last.

But as the 1990s dawn, will finding love be the answer to the group’s dreams or just another doomed quest?
