Marcelle is

disclaimer

Matthew Griffin is a certified theatre geek/video game nerd. And he despises [emphasis on despise] Christmas.

He tries to put together a cast for his school play, casting an egotistical football jock as the prince of the play himself when he figures that no one else had much of an acting talent. He tries to figure out the kid, summing his quirks and talents in list form.

All he has to do is get this jock to remember his lines, even though he forgot his heart.

A LGBTQ+ themed theater/Christmas story.

The main character suffers from Marfan Syndrome. This is an illness affecting the connective tissue of a person's body. Symptoms of it include, but aren't limited to, a lanky body structure with abnormally long fingers, limbs and toes, enlarged aorta [aortic aneurysms are therefore common] and flexible joints. I did a lot of research to give you the correct information regarding the illness and problems surrounding it, but if you see a mistake, please inform me so I can fix it.

This story features cancer and a large part of the novel runs around it. An occasional swearword decorates the chapters like Christmas decorations.
