50 Reasons to Say Goodbye by Nick Alexander
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another Kindle freebie and a book I wasn’t sure what I’d make of but actually it was very enjoyable. The story revolves around Mark, a young gay guy who drifts from relationship to relationship trying to find love.
Written as a series of short stories which sometimes entwine with each other, Mark travels from England to France to New York and back again, meeting men wherever he goes. In some ways it’s quite shocking how quickly sex follows a chance encounter, but the stories are actually sweetly told and I grew to love Mark as the book progressed. The ending … Well I don’t want to spoil the ending but I will certainly be downloading the next book in the series to find out how Mark fares. If you like chick lit and you’re not likely to be shocked by the gay sex (which isn’t especially graphic …. Except for the egg, beware it’s bizarre!) then this book will make a refreshing change.
