Summary
“This is so unfair,” Alex says, still eyeing Henry.
“What?” June asks.
“That Henry Fox is talented, successful, and also mind-numbingly good-looking?” says Nora.
Alex nods. “Exactly. Like my perfect nemesis. He’s coming for my brand.”
***
Alex has read Henry Fox's debut approximately three times in the past three months. The novel, featuring a wary protagonist coming to terms with his sexuality, is garnering Fox critical acclaim. And maybe Alex is a little jealous — his own novel generated a surprising amount of success last year after going viral online, but it just wasn't cut out for the type of buzz Fox was receiving. So Alex jumps at the chance to meet Henry at a book signing, despite knowing very little about the man himself.
What starts as a bad first impression quickly leads to fast friendship, many Instagram DMs, and a whole lot of mutual pining.
