   Summary

   Dan Howell’s summer is no different from any other, except for the fact that he’s due to start university at the end of it. With only two weeks left, he’s found himself on the precipice of a depressive episode. He’s following his passion in music, something he’s ached to do since forever, and yet there is still so much missing from his life.

   Phil Lester just so happens to suck at one particular boss of a video game, and needs whatever help he can get. So, he does what he’s never done before: he sends an unsolicited message to a complete stranger online in the hopes of receiving the advice he’s looking for.
