Mine is not as severe, but most definitely relatable. I'm not a fan of most surprises because, like the main character, Oscar, I typically need to rehearse things in my head before I feel comfortable doing them with people in real life. After all, hating Jack is less of a risk than loving him. It’s impossible to delve so deeply into someone’s past without coming to understand them at least a little, but Oscar has boundaries for a reason - even if sometimes Jack makes him want to break them all down. The house is an archaeological dig of love and dysfunction, and while Oscar thought he was prepared, he wasn’t. Maybe while cleaning out Jack’s grandmother’s house they can stop fighting long enough to turn a one-night stand into a frenemies-with-benefits situation.
When Oscar is fired (answering phones is not for the anxiety-ridden), he somehow ends up working for Jack. Together, they’re a bickering, combative mess. Jack, who’s always ready with a sly insult, who can’t have a conversation without arguing, and who Oscar may or may not have hooked up with on a strict no-commitment, one-time-only basis. That’s a well-established fact among his tight-knit friend group, and they love him anyway.
