Robbie is one of Henry’s closest friends. He’s an actor who has an intense, theatrical personality that can be overdramatic and grating to those around him. Robbie and Henry dated some time before the novel’s present day, but Robbie broke up with Henry due to Henry not knowing who he wanted to be or what he wanted out of his life. The breakup devastated Henry and only strengthened his self-doubt. Things become complicated when Henry’s deal with Luc causes Robbie to fall back in love with Henry. Though there was once a time when Henry would have given anything to win back Robbie, he can’t enjoy or accept the attention Robbie lavishes on him now, since he knows it’s not real. The curse also causes Robbie to lash out at and be rude to Addie, whom he sees as a threat.
