Why this must be read:
For my last rec of the month, this is a gorgeous, sad, and beautifully lyrical story about Nick in the days after his dad dies, when everybody flies to Chicago for the funeral. The voice for Nick is understated and just the right amount of unhinged funny, with a fuzzy overlay of real, so-big-you-can't-even-wrap-your-head-around-it grief.
been too lonely too long (AO3)
Nick’s sitting next to Jess, who keeps not looking over at him really conspicuously, in that way that lets him know that she’s worried about him. (Her eyes take up 3/4ths of her face, he can’t help but notice when she keeps darting them real quick in his direction.) He wishes she’d stop looking at him even while he’s grateful to have her there, like he’s indignant that she’s worried but he also kind of wants to hold her hand. It’s confusing. He balls his hands into fists and crosses his arms in front of his chest instead.
