Two friends from high school stay in touch through college and meet up to go to the movies, where Mike realizes Jesse is the best worst influence ever.
This author doesn’t let me down. Though a short read, the characters are given such energy that I can see them in my head while reading *le sigh* The story is 2 chapters, two acts, and the story is narrated from Mikes perspective and his internal quirky are utterly hilarious. He’s a bit of a conservative with a not helping dose of sex shame from his parents, which drives some of the context of his random interjecting thoughts. This comedy interjected throughout such warm friend to lovers scenes makes him endearing, as well as how he portrays his friend Jesse.
Jesse is the one that makes him face himself, makes him different from just a product of his home. And as their scenes continue you can see a change in the focus of context when he internally blabbers something. It becomes more focused on his feelings for himself and for Jesse rather than shameful regurgitated interjections. Funny though those are, it really shows how close their relationship is and how Jesse is key to getting Mike to loosen up and live a little. ;)
