    About this ebook

    Will has spent most of his adult life living in his own head, obsessing over films and television, avoiding his mother and going from one terrible relationship to the next. First there was the one who was obsessed with his ex, then there was the psychopath and then there was the one who pushed him down some stairs.
    Meanwhile Oliver is still living at home when his Dad finds out he's gay and to avoid awkward conversations he needs to move out.
    In this short story Will and Oliver meet for the first time when their mutual friend persuades them to live together. Oliver isn't sure what to make of Will, even though Will is pretty sure Oliver is the most handsome man he's ever met. But the real question is; does he like Star Wars?

      The problem with this film, about a brother and sister who fall in love with the same shirtless man, is that it is too self-indulgent and slow. It is a celebration of the beauty of the male body with perfect lighting and some carefully choreographed

      Will

      Ever since I asked her if Enya’s ‘Orinoco Flow’ was about the Wombles, I knew I had been a disappointment to my mother. I think she expected me to come out of the womb fully formed with everything a loving and understanding son should do and say but she soon came to realise that I needed more from her at that point then she needed from me. Expectation was rife for me to be ‘interesting’, she sent me to piano lessons but I didn't know where to put my fingers. She sent me to sport lessons, but I was more interested in the uniforms then what was expected of me on the pitch, or was it a court, I wasn't really paying attention. She sent me to extra maths lessons with the hope that I would become a mathematical genius but I was made to leave when I kept asking if a fractal was a Transformer. I did turn out to be gay however which gave her much excitement but that was followed by crushing disappointment as it turns out I had no interest in fashion, I thought Madonna was dull and I truly believe that James Cameron’s ‘Titanic’ was one of the most overrated pieces of cinema in modern culture (with the possible exemption of the Twilight Saga, but the less the said about that the better).

      Relationships have always been a difficult one for me, mainly because I don’t really like people as a rule. I think people are far too well prepared to disagree with me or tell me I’m doing something wrong. I’m not so arrogant that I think that I know everything and that other people’s opinions are worthless but I have very little time for people who disagree with me. My mother as you have heard wanted me
