He is also a bit insecure about critisicm and not being the best at something (all 4 boys are top students), he's dreamy and looks for his inspiration in life. Reese is the artistic boy with the huge, supporting family, the meticulate planner with the lists and the bullets and the drawings right next to them. But he never gets petty or mean, he finds a way to deal with life, and life rewards him. Heath is the ultimate comfort character: he is kind and loyal and loves his friends and has to deal with the breakup of his parents and the fact that he comes from a poorer background than the others and has to work during the summer. The 4 boys are quite different and this makes their voices very distinctive and the dynamic of the group fascinating : ![]() Gabe is volunteering for an environmental non-profit in Boston, Sal is interning with a Senator, Reese attends on a summer design course in Paris and Heath is working at his aunt's arcade in Daytona, Florida. ![]() ![]() It follows the friendship quartet of Gabe, Sal, Reese and Heath, who are bonded together for years in their small town in Ohio, and for the first time they will spend a lot of time away from each other, during the summer between their junior year and their senior year.
