Effing Nate

Nate likes bikes. He works in a bike shop. He’s friends with Sarah.
Sarah likes art. She works in a data center. She’s friends with Nate.
Maxwell likes women. He doesn’t work. He wants to be "friends" with Sarah.
Nate likes Sarah, Sarah likes Maxwell, Maxwell likes... well, you know.

Nathan leads an aimless life after recently dropping out of college. His best friend Sarah is a talented, up-and-coming artist, well regarded in the Sacramento art scene. They share a cozy, platonic relationship just perfect enough that someone will come along and inevitably wreck it...

And that somebody is Maxwell, Nate’s former college roommate. Suave, sophisticated, and with a suspicious English accent, he’s everything that Nate is not. But Nate feels more for Sarah than he can say, and fears that Maxwell will break her heart.
Will Sarah fall for Maxwell’s accent and smooth intellect? Can Nate overcome his own demons and find some sort of peace? And will he finally tell Sarah just how much he loves her?

Effing Nate is a funny, lyrical ode to love triangles, rear triangles, and the Herpes Triangle, set in the understated river city that is Sacramento, California.
