When Patrick's long-term girlfriend Li Ling dumps him just as he's working up the nerve to propose, he ends up drunk on David's couch--and later in David's bed. Although initially reluctant to pursue anything beyond a one-time drunken tryst, David throws caution to the wind during an intimate dinner, where the two men also discuss Patrick's dream of entering the food industry. Just as the friends-turned-lovers are settling into their new romance, Li Ling calls Patrick--she's pregnant. Convinced the announcement spells the end of their love affair and a return to their platonic friendship, David flees to Sydney to escape his heartbreak. But upon his return to Melbourne, David discovers the situation hasn't gone the way he'd expected. There might still be a chance for David and Patrick's dreams to come true if they can forgive each other's mistakes and move forward.… (mais)

‘Better with Bacon’ starts with a shocking revelation after an unforeseen breakup, muddles its way through the depression, anger, and confusion that follow for everyone involved, and comes to an unexpected ending that proves, among other things, that it’s never too late to give up hope. It also shows that communication is essential in any relationship, and those who believe they can do without (or simply forget to talk) do so at their own risk. I went from amused to exasperated as David and Patrick fumble through their feelings and figure out what they mean to each other. The setting - Melbourne and Sydney - provides a great background for their personal and professional journeys and made me enjoy this novella even more.
Patrick has been Li Ling’s boyfriend for so long that he has trouble defining himself as a separate person rather than as “her boyfriend”. When she dumps him he begins to work it out, but then she’s back, apparently pregnant, and Patrick’s excursion into self-definition stops in its tracks.

David has always accepted that Patrick is straight, just like he has known that he is gay for many years. He also has a more or less secret (definitely suppressed) crush on Patrick, and looks forward to exploring it. Until Li Ling’s pregnancy closes down that avenue, David’s heart breaks, and he runs.

The sentence “not everything is the way it looks” is an accurate description of this plot, and the many twists and turns will either drive you nuts, or they might amuse you if you take them in your stride and remember how young these guys are. The world can be a confusing place at that age and with the complications the author throws at them!

If you like watching new adults struggle with the intricacies of interpersonal relationships, if you’re ready for a bit of drama and back-and-forth, and if you’re looking for a read that is as irritating as it is entertaining, then you will probably like this novella.
