I think I would have enjoyed this story so much more if the narrator didn’t suck so much as a character.

His obsession and constant praise for his fellow classmate (who is an awful character, but HE CAN DO MAGIC TRICKS!!) gave me such an ick.

I eye-rolled my way through this one and the only moment I cheered was when a former friend of our narrator comes forward and is like, “bro, this dude honestly doesn’t even know who you are”

Just an instance of the “obsessive/toxic friendship” trope only making me angry.
