As a budding writer with a knack for shrewd description, Nate spends the length of Paul Rudnick’s life-filled rom-com trying to find ways to describe that man, Farrell Covington: He is a “blinding sun god,” a “blank check,” an “unhinged cipher” and more.
In so doing, Nate also reaches for a new way of seeing himself and what he believes to be possible for two men in love.
To Nate’s surprise, Farrell returns his gaze with an even stronger intensity.
It supersedes the look of a crush — it’s an appraisal, a reverie.
And of the pair, Farrell is the one with an eye for beauty.
