Goodreads asked Mark Logie:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Mark Logie Giving the widest possible meaning to "couple", ie, meaning any two characters closely linked -- in any way -- in the course of a novel, I'd say Will Freeman and Marcus in "About a Boy". They rub each other up the wrong way so much to start with and, eventually, force each other to grow as people that it's impossible not to be amused and touched, by turns.

It's simply brilliant characterisation that stays with you long after finishing Nick Hornby's novel.
