Not a lot of meat here
I kept waiting for there to be more here but it just never happened. I just couldn’t care about these main characters and there sin’t much of a story.
Cory left his miserable home at 18 and is returning for the first time 15 years later a very successful lawyer. He is an unhappy, miserable human being with no attachments to anyone and no friends. He supposedly has no ability to form attachments or socialize. Sorry, not buying it. He’s supposed to be a big hot shot celebrity lawyer, with his own practice in LA but has no charm or social skills?! And he’s only in his early 30’s? Curmudgeon might work for an old, established guy but not someone who hasn’t even been in practice for 10 years.
Rhys is thrilled that Cory is back because he’s had a crush on him since HS...where they were only in school together a couple months and the basis of this crush is that he loaned him a pencil and shared his book. Something Cory doesn’t even remember happening.
It’s all just too ridiculous. And the ending makes no sense. I can’t say more because spoilers, but the whole epilogue had me going “huh?!”
There’s just not a lot of there, there.
