When Tom’s life hits rock bottom—stuck in a dead-end town, dumped for his sister, and working graveyards at a 7/11—the last thing he expects is his pathetic best friend Warren to rob him with a neon water pistol. What follows is a hilarious, achingly vulnerable journey of two disaster boys fumbling their way toward love, one badly timed confession and life-sized Warhammer statue at a time.

A charming, lighthearted, and funny rom-com set in the Merrickville universe, this story delivers the classic best-friends-to-lovers trope with warmth and wit. The humor is delightful, and the characters are wonderfully endearing - even if you'll occasionally want to punch them because of their obliviousness.

Told through a series of snapshots from their lives, the story offers a beautiful glimpse into the protagonists' relationship. In just a few scenes, it creates a stronger sense of their connection and the bright future ahead of them than many much longer novels manage to achieve.

This is exactly the kind of book you'll want to read on the beach during a holiday. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys witty, intelligent, and feel-good romance.

Another wonderfully written story about the romantic magic of Merrickville. The main characters are Tom and Warren and we get the joy of watching them go from friends to lovers. It is a truly hilarious tale that you will be glad that you read. I highly recommend this story! I also highly recommend this author, he has a magical way of storytelling that includes amazing plot lines, and a simply amazing way of creating characters that have depth and real emotions. He is a master! 👏❤️😃
