Alex is a 20 year old college student who seems to have it all: he's well liked, skilled in many ways, and a star on his volleyball team. But beneath his friendly demeanour lies a young man haunted by questions no one can seem to answer. Why is it always him? Why do bad things happen to him without reason? Why does the world never give him a break? And most of all, why does he feel like a stranger in his own skin?
As Alex juggles school, work, and the pressure to maintain his perfect facade, crack begin to form. Through his close friendship with William, a childhood friend who has seen Alex at his worst, and a growing connection with Odin, a quiet but intriguing addition to his volleyball team, Alex begins to explore the deeper struggles he's long kept hidden. However, tension grows as Bradley, a teammate with an unsettling presence, starts to probe into Alex's life and relationships.
But life doesn't let up. Past traumas, toxic relationships, and his relentless inner voice chip away at his strength, leaving Alex questioning his place in the world that feels so antagonistic. As he searches for answers, Alex must confront not just the pain others have caused him, but also parts of himself he's been too afraid to face.

A Nice Guy
Alex; Quiet. Loyal. The kind of friend who stays a little too late and listens a little too closely - especially when it comes to Hazel. Hazel, who laughs at his jokes. Hazel, who never pushed him away. Hazel, who trusted him enough to believe he wanted nothing from her. Her marriage is solid. Her life is stable. She never questioned it. Alex just convinced himself she did. His attention becomes comfort. Comfort becomes temptation. Temptation becomes something Hazel never agreed to - a story Alex writes for both of them, twisting every glance, every kindness, into proof she must want him back. And when lines are crossed, Alex tells himself he's giving her what she secretly desired. He calls it love. He calls it fate. But the truth is much uglier. Told through the eyes of a self-proclaimed "nice guy," this is the descent of a man who manipulates his closest friend into the role he wants her to play... and still can't understand why he ends up the monster. A story about obsession, delusion, and the violence of being rewritten by someone who insists he knows you better than you know yourself.Complete
