Hi! I’m Ben, if you’re reading this, thank you. I have been an aspiring writer for years but never really had anything that I loved enough to share. A few years ago I had an idea to write about my life, well not exactly my life, but something close to it. I was a child of abuse and fell in love with an abusive alcoholic. I’ve been through more than I care to go into detail about here. This story is about falling in love and how hard it is to let go.
I really wanted this book to feel like you were reading someone’s life. I included a lot of texting conversations since that is how we all communicate these days. I am an avid movie watcher and have worked in video stores and movie theaters alike. I wanted it to feel nerdy and inclusive but still tug at your heartstrings. Lex is very much who I think and I am and who I’ve always wanted to be.
I would love to hear anything you have to say, good or bad. I just want to grow as a writer and shape this story into something even better than it already is. Once again, thanks for reading, and thanks even more for following along.
