M.A. Quigley's critically acclaimed debut novel, The Complexities of Love, tells the story of Mark navigating life as a closeted gay man in 1960s Australia. Always feeling different, Mark did his best to fit in and follow what his family always wanted for him: a lovely Australian girl. But after meeting Dave in middle school, everything changed.
Mark no longer wanted to make his family happy by following what they had planned for him, he wanted to be with Dave instead. Growing the courage to tell Dave about his crush, they share a romantic kiss at sunset before getting interrupted by Mark's parents. Dave leaves, not just for the night; he is sent to live hours away with his aunt, crushing Mark's fantasies of having the perfect boyfriend.
Ten years pass, and Dave returns, but something feels different. Finding out the horrible things Dave's family made him go through after discovering that they were gay, Dave and Mark decide to rekindle their relationship. With problems at home, and Dave returning after all these years, Mark must decide if the man he wanted years ago is worth risking everything for, or if he can indeed be happy with Dave and build a new life together.
