The Lesser Bohemians

A romance between two damaged peopled, further complicated by a large age gap. I was almost ready to drop this, after the first half hour, because the poetic, stream of consciousness prose was pretty hard to get used to. But then the romance, with all its sexy bits, started, and I was pulled in.

This is mostly a first person narrative, but sometimes it became a crazy game of telephone. Like when he told her, what his ex told him, what his step-father had told her, what his mother had told him! It really worked in those moments, but what an interesting choice for presenting a lot of the heavy plot.
