Best part of story, including ending:
What I liked about the story is the ability to relate to the character John. The story reminds of the good old days when things were much simpler. I enjoyed watching two opposite characters develop a genuine friendship.
Best scene in story:
My favorite scene would be when John takes Gene's advice on making eye contact with Marilyn whenever he can, and while driving he happens to make eye contact with her and drives into a pole.
Opinion about the main character:
What I like about the main character is his willingness to not give up on winning over his crush Marilyn. The character was funny and intriguing.
