WINDSOR, Canada, 2021-Aug-24 — 5310 Publishing is delighted to announce that the highly-anticipated young-adult romance, The Complexities of Love: Will Mark find the love he is seeking?, a coming-of-age story about Mark as he confronts the truth about his family and his identity, by M.A. Quigley is being released today.

The Complexities of Love is about an Australian teen who learns about life, hidden love, and family secrets. Mark knows he’s different from the other boys, hiding his attraction for his best friend. When Mark tries to discover the truth behind his best friend’s absence, upsetting family secrets come to light…


Mark’s interest in cooking, future dreams of living openly as a gay man, and desire to make a living as a chef add elements of lightness and hope. The characters deal with trauma, mental illness, and addiction throughout the story.


The book got recently reviewed by Kirkus Reviews: “The discussions of family bonds, complex sibling relationships, finding a place to belong, and the reveal of Mark’s family history are intriguing and messily realistic…”


Book blurb: Mark Cooney grows up aware that there is something different about him and hopes that his parents will never find out. Mark’s best friend Dave disappeared when he was thirteen and returned ten years later. Mark became more and more vulnerable as they got closer. It came with a price. Tormented by his inner demons and refusing to be controlled by anyone, Dave reveals a secret that he has kept since childhood, which leads to a terrible misunderstanding that will have grave consequences for Mark and his family.


What secrets will Mark uncover? All he yearns for is for Dave to return his love. Will that happen, or will he find someone else?
