Part 2, Chapter 30 Summary: “Friday 11th October 2019”

Andy performs at the UK Independent Pharmacists’ Annual Autumn Party, and he deems it a success since they didn’t throw things at him. Emery once showed him how to use their talent agency’s website to see how much they charge for appearances and how the talent is ranked using the alphabet. Emery and Andy once were both in the “E” category, meaning they made around £2,000 per gig. Andy sees that he has now fallen to the “F” level, and Emery has moved up to “D.” He emails his agent, explaining his frustration with her lack of communication and the small number of bookings he’s getting. He also sends Kelly a picture of his low-carb meal, and she reminds him that he hasn’t been coming in for his workouts.

Andy goes to Avi and Jane’s for dinner. Though he only sees them at their house with the children around, Andy loves being in their home, participating in the coziness of their lives. They dig into their takeaway fish and chips, and Andy tastes one of Avi’s chips and can’t resist eating more. Avi asks him what it’s like to date a “teenager,” and Jane asks to see her picture. Andy scrolls through her Instagram posts, but all her photos are blurry or at strange angles and have nonsensical captions.
