“STARK is the man of my dreams. He controls my fantasies, an enigma I want but can’t have, because he’s always been out of my reach. But not anymore.”
Romance entwined with manipulation makes for a compelling ride in STARK, a gritty tale of love and lust following Michael Wexler on his journey to fulfillment.
Michael Wexler, the author and main character, recounts bumbling thru an addictive relationship with gorgeous and confused Stark during his freshman year.
Wexler’s playful yet self effacing tone made me empathize with “Mikey”and thus invested, I kept turning the pages of this novella to find out what happens next.
Wexler’s change up of writing styles to staccato or whimsical to reflect his state of mind added to the reading enjoyment.
At the end of the book, I found myself wishing for more of MW’s story.
This made me so emotional. My heart was beating was fast because I’ve kinda had the thing happened to me. I honestly loved it. It was greatly written. Bravooo
