Description

She took in a twenty-year-old young man, her peer, with limited intellectual abilities—yet with preserved sensitivity and the ability to learn—because she’d promised her dead friend. Just so he wouldn’t be sent to an institution. And then something impossible happened. The one society had forever labeled as “not like that” turned out to be her most important feeling. Terrible. Forbidden. But real.

Their story would have been condemned by everyone if they’d found out. But while the city stays silent, something greater than love is born in their home—the choice between humanity and morality.

“Point after not” is a novel you simply can’t read straight through. It provokes, it repels, and it evokes compassion all at once. This isn’t a story about love. It’s a story about boundaries.

And about the fact that the real ones are always within us.

You’ll feel sick. You’ll cry. You’ll want to argue with the author—but you won’t be able to close the book. Because if you finish it, the point inside you is already set.

The point after not.
