WHEREFORE ART THOU ROMEO

INTRODUCTION
Hello and thank you for choosing to read Wherefore Art Thou Romeo? Your support is endlessly appreciated and I hope that you enjoy your time here! If you do then votes and comments are endlessly appreciated, I love engaging with other users and responding to their feedback or thoughts!
Also, it isn't unusual for me to work on two stories at once. For example, I worked on Cause for Concern and Pride & Joy simultaneously, and worked on Third Time's A Charm and Love Thy Neighbor simultaneously. While I work on the longer The Best of Us, Wherefore Art Thou Romeo will be considered my shorter project to work on in the meantime!
Further information and insight relating to the book is available below so feel free to read!

SUMMARY
Romeo Valentini's life is ruled by apathy: he has meaningless sex, plenty of failed friends-with-benefits relationships and a general dissatisfaction with his inability to fall in love.
Then he begins spending time with the reckless and rousing Rodney Richards, who is unlike anyone he has ever met.
Rodney, never out of trouble, makes Romeo feel alive and, as he begins to finally escape his apathy, he wonders if this is the love he's been waiting for all along.
But he soon realizes that there is a ugliness to loving Rodney— one that he did not expect— and the relationship that Romeo dreamed of for so long may be what returns him to apathy forever.

CHAPTER INFORMATION
There will be twenty chapters overall and I expect they will be around 2500 words. They will also be written in third person!
Updates will not follow a specific or structured schedule. They will just be published as soon as I can get them written and somewhat edited. Therefore I imagine that the spaces between chapters will vary, but I am aiming to have the book fully published / completed by February 2023.
