After We Danced

   (3 reviews)

Best friends, Luke and Matt, have been inseparable since primary school and now, after twelve long years of schooling, the end of those school years are finally within sight. All that is left to do is make it through the night of the school formal, before starting their final exams.

So what will the night bring for the boys and their group of friends? What secrets are about to be exposed? How will they, their families and their friends all react to the events that are about to unfold? And what will they discover about themselves . . . about each other . . . and about life? 

This story contains adult, sexual content and some violence.  Reader discretion advised.

This is a story of two guys who fall in love, and how that love affects and drives their lives, and the lives of those in the small town around them. It's a beautiful story, but not one unmarred by the hurtful swipes that reality likes to take at all of our lives. The ups and downs can be painful and joyous in turn, but there is a sweet streak of hope that underlies all of it, propels it, keeps it going to its very satisfying conclusion.

This a story inhabited by wonderful people, a few nasty ones, a few sad ones, and a few that come and go quickly, but not without leaving their marks on the lives of the characters. This story is full of beautifully written observations of life and the world, the beauty of that world, and the joy of sharing it with someone most loved.

This is a story not to be missed. So, don't!

Like the seaside in Eastern Australia where much of this story takes place, the story itself is like fresh salt spray air, or the relaxing sound of the waves reaching their destination onshore, or floating on a warm summer breeze accompanied by the aroma of Tropical Blend Coconut Oil (SPF 4 only please). It is not all sunshine, sex, surf and the sweet things in life though, the protagonists are faced with some challenging and distressing events, events which ultimately enrich their lives. 

A story with a relatively small cast, mostly likeable, with one notable exception, a hate-filled aunt of one of the protagonists. The characters are well written by the author, @Mark Ponyboy Peters, with a refreshing authenticity that is sure to bring to mind family, friends or acquaintances each reader has known at some time during their life who bear a resemblance to any one or more of the characters, even the hate-filled aunt. 

Devour the story with a voracious appetite or read it at a languid pace like that balmy summer night. Whatever the pace at which you read it, you won't be disappointed. A delightfully entertaining, enriching and energising read from start to finish. A true 5 star experience with just the right amount of "sexy" at times too (sexy which is soooooooo seductively written).

This has to be one of my most favourite stories on GA

Absolutely loved it. Thanks for the wonderful story mate.

Will there be a second book of this story? Maybe return visits to Cock or two Creek?  😇😉😁😆🤣😂

Response from the author:

Thank you so much for your very kind words, sir!

This story is the first in a series, all of which I am re-editing and posting on here. Don't think we're returned to Cock Or Two Creek yet, but there is another story in the planning stages to be added, and that will need a visit to this old stomping ground! :)

I hope you enjoy the other stories as well.

Thanks

Mark
