Absolutely adorable novella about two people who feel like background characters in the grand story of their more popular friends' lives. I loved Lance... the goofy class clown with the silly, inappropriate jokes, who's just a really decent, sweet guy underneath all the humor. Mabel was relatable, funny, and understandably hesitant about being set up on a double date with the guy who thrives on lame fart jokes. I am impressed with the depth of character and relationship development that was achieved by Schieffelbein in such a short page count, as the pacing of it all just felt very natural.  And added bonus: dual narration.  It was totally cute to watch the realizations, the relationship, and the romance develop from both of Lance and Mabel's unique perspectives.Overall, If you're looking for a quick, satisfying little romance, definitely pick this one up.
