Ben is a severe diabetic who rarely leaves his home, even for work. He hates the way he looks due to his health problems. One of the few people he sees on a regular basis is the young man who delivers the DVD movies he orders online, Ollie. He's a skateboarder with purple hair and a dazzling smile. Ben would like to get to know him better, but there's an age difference and Ben's lack of confidence in his disease-ravaged body. Ollie has dreams of owning a business and doesn't know where to start, but Ben takes a chance and helps, leading to a fragile friendship.
I really liked this story and the two lead characters. Ben's insecurities and Ollie's ability to overlook them made both men endearing and very likable. 149 pages (Kindle edition).
