Alexâs skeptical parents reluctantly attend after repeated invitations from a colleague of Alexâs father. Alex and Brandon feel an immediate and undeniable attraction to one another, though both of them are confused about their own and each otherâs feelings. They soon develop an affectionate, endearing friendship, mostly by balancing out their opposite personalities and quoting their favorite lines from The Princess Bride until they nearly wet themselves. Brandon is loud, impulsive, irreverent, and foul-mouthed. Alex is quiet, thoughtful, shy, and considerably more precocious than Brandon. With the support of Alexâs unconventional and affirming parents, Alex and Brandon navigate the challenges of being gay teenagers in Houston in the early 1990s. They face obstacles, setbacks, misunderstandings, and outright homophobia but remain resolutely committed to their unique friendship and budding romance. From beginning to end, The You I See by Danny Freeman is an infectiously funny, relentlessly hopeful, and ultimately life-affirming celebration of friendship and young love in one of its many-hued variations.
