Monserrat Castellani wasn't your typical modern gay boy. living in a well-sized studio apartment in New York; he is the epitome of art. A painter, a fashion enthusiast and designer; who is very intelligent, but nonetheless, he is a man who ignores his feelings much more than he should. Monserrat is poised, and knows what he wants in life; to design clothes, and live in peace.

But, to his disappointment, things don't always work out as planned. 

When his (ex) boyfriend amadeus shows up on his doorstep, drunk, emotional, and slightly beat up , he is faced with more issues than he could imagine. 

1) Should he let him in?

2) 'Yes, he is a pompous brat but... I suppose he could stay here'

3) Possibly his lingering love for Amadeus

4) The rent

5) Leaving Amadeus alone in his gorgeous apartment which he will possibly destroy 

6) His feelings (aka a mess)

7) The job situation

8) His crush on his neighbor, who is most likely straight

This is a novel about finding yourself, forgiveness, acceptance, and love.

This is not your typical gay love story. 

This is the story of the painter and the pianist. of Monserrat and Amadeus.
