    Summary

    When you become friends with benefits at 18, it’s easy to quickly become codependent on each other – especially when the only one who understands your issues is your arch rival. Because who else would you talk to? And how will it change when the rivalry isn’t as prominent as it used to be? When their recurring game of Fuck-Marry-Kill for shits n’ giggles is carried over to real life, Shane and Ilya are forced to face the many mysteries of love.

    Or: What if tuna melt never happened? What if there's no jealousy? What if Shane and Ilya’s relationship was based on communication? What if Troy Barrett got traded to Boston and had to deal with the mortifying ordeal of being known?

    A story about contradictions and the duality of man, about learning to love yourself and all your flaws. It is also a story about friendship, deep care and trust, and all the small things that make us human. And books.

    Summary

    There are five miles left on Shane’s commute when his car stalls on Route 136. A litany of swears light up the inside of his luxury vehicle at the same time his check engine and coolant lights blink.

    When he is dropped off at Rozanov's with a broken down car, he realizes that the head mechanic may do more than just tune up his engine.

    Summary

    “Whitaker, you need to sit down. You have a concussion.” The voice next to him tries to tell him, and it's almost familiar this time.

    “Yeah I realized that, I am a fuckin' doctor. Student doctor. Whatever.” he replies, turning to squint at the man sitting next to him. “Look, can you just get Dr. Robby? He’ll tell you I'm fine, I gotta get back to work, I got… patients and shit.”

    The man looks at someone behind him, some expression he can’t quite figure out. He starts to say something else, and—oh shit he’s gonna throw up fuck—he tries to lean away and not vomit all over anyone else. He doesn't quite make it.

    “Shit,” yeah, he definitely ruined that guy’s shoes. Whoops. “Sorry.”
