Summary
Jean Kirschtein has been writing his penpal Marco Bodt since the third grade. He trusts his friend who lives across the country more than he has ever been able to trust anyone.
Until one day, when Jean sends a letter and never receives a reply.
Two years later, while in college, Jean meets the same boy in his letters, though older and definitely attractive. The downside: Marco doesn't know who he is.
This is the story of two friends, one from Virginia and the other from California, who defy the odds and fall head-over-heels for one another, and who learn that you don't have to be perfect to be loved.

Summary
He took his name from words etched into the planks at the back of the shrine: Marco.
Marco was used to not questioning his existence. He was used to a black-and-white life at that forgotten shrine. He was used to being alone.
Then Jean appeared. And Marco's world exploded into colour and emotions he'd never experienced before.All because of two simple words: "Hello again."

Summary
Marco Bodt has two Michelin stars to his name and is the head chef at a restaurant with a crew better than any could ask for, but it comes along with a desperate fear that he's becoming much less than the prodigy he was at 16. Jean Kirschtein has just finished his degree and has come home to his father's farm after a death in the family that he doesn't know how to deal with. But, as it happens, Kirschtein Produce supplies Marco's restaurant, and after Jean is roped into doing deliveries he meets Marco. Handsome and talented Marco who feels like a failure and who Jean really shouldn't be paying attention to. Not when he's supposed to be there to help his father. And not when that same father isn't a fan of Jean's less than heterosexual feelings. And Marco, who shouldn't be so quick to find inspiration in an undercut and a scowl when he's trying to have an existential crisis about his career. Like they always do, no matter the circumstance, Jean and Marco fall in love. Maybe over expertly sauteed vegetables. Or maybe not.
