Aporia (noun): A disjunction, contradiction or puzzle, something that cannot be fully resolved.
Lexi is back at square one. Back at home, broke, depressed... and in love with her best friend.
Starting adulthood feels the same as being a teenager. Except now the man she's in love with is 32, and she is being painfully reminded that she is only 20.
Kevin doesn't care that she's only 20, he wants her.
Bad timing, other love interests, arguments and the past almost stop them from finding out the truth of where they stand.
Almost.
Kevin is sure that Lexi shouldn't want him, but is intent on making sure she does.
He always gets what he wants.
Lexi is still finding her way, but Kevin is set in his.
Just like when they were teenagers, Lexi's other best friend, Marina, seems to be having everything she wants fall into her lap, while Lexi takes one step forward and gets thrown two steps back, until eventually she doesn't know what she wants anymore.
Maybe lust is all she and Kevin have.
Maybe she doesn't know who she is anymore.
Maybe she doesn't know who Kevin is anymore.
Maybe she doesn't care.
This is not the love story you think it is.
