    Summary

    And it was nice, having someone who distilled every action so completely it was almost binary: you are doing this for hockey, or you are doing this for Shane. The choice was simple. But it didn’t stop him from wondering on occasion if he had made his life smaller. The thought kept him up at night like the sound of Shane’s voice when they’d sat at the table with his parents for the first time—he’s trying to be loyal to me, not Boston. The terror of thinking he had betrayed himself balanced perfectly by the thrill of knowing Shane liked it. Total equilibrium.

    Two summers, nine years apart, and the changes they bring.

    Summary

    New York, 1957. Eames is a successful but lonely illustrator, content with his quiet life in his Greenwich Village studio. He supplements his commercial work with “specialty” pin-up illustrations and fetish art, spends his afternoons sketching at the beatnik cafe down the street, and passes his evenings drawing the love of his life.

    Eames’s muse is Arthur Darling, the dashing face of every cigarette ad and shaving-cream campaign Eames has ever done. Arthur is perfect for Eames, from the gleam of his dimples to the shine of his shoes. There’s only one problem -- Arthur doesn’t exist.

    When Eames saves the mysterious Mal from an attack, he learns that wishes can come true.
