Summary
Stede is just going through the motions in his life, his marriage to Mary, suffering through board meetings at Bonnet Enterprises. When Mary suggests he pick up a hobby, he decides to volunteer at the local public library on Saturdays, running a literary classics (mostly 19th century) book club. Then one Saturday, a man in leather comes in looking for a book about how to grow cactuses and makes Stede feel all sorts of things that are baffling to him. His name is Ed, and he's a famous video game streamer on Twitch. Ed comes back, and back again, until they become real friends, inching ever closer to something more and helping each other grow in unexpected ways both separately and together.
