Now, on the streets, Remee does everything he can to survive with Julian’s help. With an unvarnished eye, the author relates the story of teenage boy who is left alone by his mother who went out from their home one day and never returned.

Suki Fleet has re-released her novel, This is Not a Love Story, and it is difficult to describe for you just how brutal and shocking this novel is. However, even though they help and try to protect each other, it may not be enough to survive the cold, relentless nightmare homelessness has become for them. As their life on the street unfolds and every day is a struggle to survive the violence, the cold, and the gnawing, unceasing hunger, the two boys become closer, finally admitting their feelings for each other. The two are friends, although Remee wishes it could be more. Mute and homeless, he survives with his friend, Julian, who is just two years older than him, but who sacrifices himself often in order to protect and provide what he can for Remee.

Remee Danilov, or Romeo, as he is referred to on the street, feels much older than his fifteen years.
