Description

A collection of love stories that were often concealed under the pretext of norms and culture, this novel takes the reader on a roller-coaster of contradictions and emotions. From the thrill of falling in love to the poignant remarks received, Joy and Adam share their moments of dedication, intimacy, then embracement, and acceptance, all while learning and adapting. ‘Borderline Love in Beirut’ is far greater than just a cliché love story. This novel speaks the language of every person who had once lost a lover, who was left fighting alone, and who had endured all kinds of stigma. In here, we not only watch Joy and Adam fall in love and rise in acceptance, but we go deeper as they create a new world for themselves. In later stages, this world will evolve to become the battle ground of divergent feelings and realities, where nothing could stop dreams and aspirations from breaking through.This is a revelation of striving to change while struggling to forget or let go of a certain past memory. It is like a flickering rumbling bolt, desperate to escape paradoxical bonds between the freedoms we long for and the self-created restraining fears. This novel sheds light on the reality of living under the mercy of doubt, regret, and frustration.
