Introduction

When Miller and Caleb first started going on walking trips together, they were idealistic twentysomethings. Now, in their 30s, the strain upon their friendship is becoming more difficult to ignore. Ethan Fuirst balances humour with heartbreak skilfully in this timely reminder of the importance of queer platonic relationships – even the ones that may not last.
