Julian is barely two years older than Romeo. After running away from an increasingly violent home life, he makes some difficult choices and ends up selling himself on the street to survive. Taking care of Romeo changes him, gives him a purpose in life, gives him hope, and though he tries to be strong and keep his troubles with drugs behind him, living as they do is slowly destroying him, and he begins to doubt he can be strong enough.
This is the story of their struggle to find a way off the streets and stay together at all costs. But when events threaten to tear them apart, Romeo knows he must find the strength within himself to help Julian (and not let their love story turn into a tragedy).
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Wow! Just wow! This is Not a Love Story is an absolutely accomplished story. That said, it isn't a romance, but it is absolutely all about love. It's about what we will do for those we love, the levels of sacrifice and protection one will experience.
Holy crap. From the first line, I was drawn into this world, feeling heart-broken for Romeo and Julian. Julian's situation is beyond tragic, leaving me struggling to continue, as it's so damn emotional. And Romeo's story will ultimately have you crying.
It's a story of two young men who are extremely broken, living on the streets, and struggling to survive. And when I saw struggling, I really mean it.
Romeo's mute which adds to his problems, as he can't explain things at times, and he can't yell to warn someone. It's an amazingly intriguing characteristic that's well explored.
It's a tale of attacks, sex workers, and mutism. It's raw, real, gritty, and awful.
It's about the dangers, the stress, and all the struggles of living on the streets. The writing's phenomenal, gripping, and flows seamlessly. I can see all of it and feel all of it. The writing is extremely atmospheric.
Their story is full of pain and misery, as well as despair and depression. It's tough to say I loved this book, but I did. It's an awfully difficult read, but completely and utterly worthwhile.
This is Not A Love story is a phenomenal story of finding people who truly care for you, and letting them do so. It expertly explores the pain involves when deciding between a chance for more or a chance to follow one's heart. This Suki Fleet's novel is riveting, compelling and completely engrossing. Definitely check it out when you're in the mood for something a little different.
