Summary
In the wake of Eddie’s traumatic shooting, newly minted girlfriend Ana Flores struggles to carve out a place in the Diaz family, clashing with Buck’s unwavering devotion to Eddie and Christopher. Tensions reach a boiling point when Ana’s ableist expectations and internalized homophobia collide with Buck’s fiercely protective instincts, driving both to seek validation from the one place that never holds back: Reddit.
As their anonymous posts go viral, strangers dissect their dynamic with brutal honesty—Ana is labeled the villain, Buck is crowned the “oblivious disaster bisexual,” and Eddie? Well, the internet has thoughts about why he’s never looked at Ana the way he looks at Buck.
Navigating miscommunications, Christopher’s unfiltered wisdom, and a locker room kiss that breaks the internet, this is the story of how two idiots in love finally realize their family was complete long before they dared to call it one.
