    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Official CBC Canada Reads Selection 2019, made possible by the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ottawa Tourism Board.

    Summary

    "Hold on," Mike asked, "you made Donna come into work in the middle of a blizzard?"

    "I don't make Donna do anything. Haven't you learned by now?" Harvey gave Mike a mean little smile, but under that was relief for anyone to see. "You, I can make come into the office in a blizzard."

    Summary

    “I’m Richie, by the way,” he says, offering his hand. The guy looks at him a little warily before sighing and reaching for his outstretched palm.

    “Eddie Kaspbrak,” the guy says, and when he grasps Richie’s hand in his, Richie feels something judder into place deep in his brain, like tectonic plates coming to rest in their interminable slide, like pins realigning themselves in the barrel of a stuck lock, like the skittering needle on a turntable finally settling into its groove. It shivers out from his spine, raising goosebumps on his arms and the nape of his neck, but when Eddie lets go, he forgets that it was there at all.

    Summary

    Bill is still sitting on the floor, back against the wall, where he was leaning and then just sort of deflated. “I don’t know what to do now,” he says, his eyes unfocused somewhere above Bev’s head. “I feel like I’m late for something, but I don’t know what.” A hank of hair falls in his eyes, that gray streak in the same place he used to get summer highlights from long days spent lazing in the quarry or the woods, so even now he doesn’t look old so much as sun bleached. The patina of age is shimmering on all of them.

     

    “We need to get rid of the body,” Mike says.
