Trust, Truth, Honesty, Love, Compassion, Empathy-all characteristics a courtship. But what happens when everything you've ever known about your prospective lover is a deadly lie? Ronnie Lee Mickle Jr. writes in detail about how he moved to Atlanta as a young gay male where he fell in love with being an openly gay male- and Cory. Cory, a venerable "Rock Star", conjures up images of popularity, sex appeal, and money. Through false starts and stops, the author, takes us through a budding romance orchestrated all on Cory's terms. Often people say the truth will set you free. Mickle, however, brings readers to a new understanding- the truth can also unravel one's world creating a long and hard climb back to normalcy. "An incredible memoir by, Ronnie Lee Mickle. A fast page turner every gay male should read. Rock Star expresses the power of human spirit, and expresses ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own lives and choices. A highly recommended read!" - USA Book News.
However, the story it tells is compelling and is one that is not heard enough. The dialogue is excellent and I found myself caring a lot about the characters. I might have even teared up a time or two.
The writing style starts out pretty rough but ends up shaping into a decently written memoir about young love, betrayal and heartache. This is an important story despite its lack of editing and is well worth reading.
