It's Complicated: a collection of words on love

by Ben Parks

Sometimes love is a failed college romance that gets a second chance, sometimes it's fighting for your right to tell your story the way you want to. Sometimes it's perfect, sometime's it's lost to time. But it's always complicated. This collection of short stories, flash fiction, and poetry make an attempt at capturing just some of the many faces of love in a few words. Written over the course of a handful of years and inspired by the stories I'd write but never finish because of the misplaced idea that stories weren't worth anything if not full fledged novels, the stories in this collection take a look at the complicated nature of romance and love.

I had no expectations, and was wonderfully surprised and delighted by the diverse love stories and poems in this book. I highly recommend this to anyone who's ever been in love or longs to be.

This “collection of words” provides an indepth look at young love. Sparse prose centers the themes of attraction, connection, and love lost, while the diverse cast of characters drives home the universal nature of the emotional pull and heartbreak that weave through each story. Pick up this volume to validate your own yearnings or find solace in shared pain.
