Aporia (noun): 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 no different to being a teenager. Except it's more expensive, more complicated, and the man she's in love with is a REAL adult. He's 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, miscommunications, and the past almost stop them from finding out the truth.
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.
She takes one step forward and gets thrown two steps back.
She doesn't know what she wants anymore.
She doesn't know who she is anymore.
And maybe she doesn't know who Kevin is anymore.
Maybe she doesn't care.
This is not the love story you think it is.
