“I Hope This Isn’t as Good as it Gets” Is a queer coming of age story about two boys, Edgar and Britt who attend the same private school. Edgar is a normal student, but Britt is a recluse that no one knows anything about. Edgar becomes fascinated with Britt and the two begin spending time together, sparking a romance. Concurrently, a true narrative, retold by Andor’s mother, is woven into the story about a long ago lost friend. How do these narratives connect?
