Summary
As a well-regarded photographer in New York City, Mickey’s living his dream. Sort of.
He really doesn’t have the time or the energy to find a date for his sister’s Chicago wedding, so hiring an escort for the affair seems like the way to go.
But the gorgeous redhead who ends up fitting the bill turns out to be a hell of a lot more than Mickey bargained for. In every single way imaginable.

Summary
Ian Gallagher worked hard for this. He's in his senior year of a music scholarship, conducting the first undergraduate orchestra. If the first concert of the year goes well, he might even get noticed by someone who can help him get a conducting gig after he graduates.
But to get there, he's got to work with a principal violinist, Mickey Milkovich, who seems more intent on riling the entire orchestra up and starting fights with first flute and the viola section leader.Bookmarked by Runningempty

Summary
Sometimes your bartender serves more than just drinks.
When I read the quote below from the Parallel 49 Brewing website about one of their signature beers, Jerkface 9000, I knew it was going to be Mickey’s favorite beer.
“Hey you! Yeah... I'm talking to you, buddy. How about you grab a bottle of this Mosaic hopped American wheat beer and cram it down your pie hole. Did I hurt your feelings? Too friggin' bad. When it's this good, you ain't gotta be nice about it.”For Gallavich Week 2020 Day 5: Best Friends

Summary
The pill bottles rattle as he pulls the drawer open. He takes one out and unscrews it, spilling the tablets on his palm. He counts each and every one of them. He counts the days and the weeks and the numbers turn out to be right on all three bottles. Not one pill is out of place, because he took them. He swallowed them every morning and every night and there’s no way he’d forget even a single dose because he’s…
He’s better now.

Summary
Roasters on Main makes the best coffee in the city.
Okay, that’s probably not true, but for the prices and the location, it’s the best coffee they’re going to find and still get to work on time.
If they ever get out of the driveway, that is.
