#BookReview Pages I Never Wrote By Marco Donati


A candid, relatable Queer Coming-of-Age YA Novel featuring an LGBT University Romance and themes of disability, diversity, creativity, self-discovery and academic achievement. 

“Why would he want to date me? I can’t even hold a pen.” 
Luke has good friends, a passion for books, and dyspraxia, a disorder that, ironically, makes him unable to write. He also has a hatred for anyone who tries to help him. Yet when he fails his first term at university due to his learning difficulties, he’s forced to get support. 

That’s how Nate, an excitable last-year student, becomes his self-proclaimed personal tutor and starts writing down essays for him, as a distraction from his own quarter-life crisis. 
But Luke’s writing ambitions are not just academic. He dreams of penning a novel, although that’s never been a real possibility. Until now. 


Will the two boys manage to write a successful love story together? 

Find out in this coming-of-age novel dedicated to all late bloomers.

Marco Donati is an Italian author. He graduated from Florence University with a degree in Modern Languages and Translation. As part of his academic studies, he spent a term at SOAS, University of London, and fell in love with the place, the city, the people. It felt only natural to set at SOAS his debut Queer YA novel, 'Pages I Never Wrote', reliving some of his university days.

He currently lives in Tuscany, where he works as a web copywriter. When he's not writing, he enjoys travelling, watching TV shows, taking photos obsessively, filming videos, and talking to his cat.

First, I want to thank Marco Donati for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Marco Donati brings you a very special LBGTQ story in Pages I Never Wrote. This book you could just tell by reading was written from Marco’s heart. He was passionate about the characters he was writing about and the storyline itself. It made it so much more enjoyable to read due to this fact. 

Marco gives his character Luke a unique disability that I myself had never heard of before. This disability plays a huge part in the book itself. Mark hopes to educate his readers and bring awareness to it. 

This book is a short but fast paced read.

Pages I Never Wrote is an incredibly beautiful written story with many great messages thrown in. 

Unlike most books in this genre this is a sweet clean read. I must say It was refreshing. The focus was on the budding friendship and not the intimacy. 

My hope is Marco continues to write and create more stories like this. He has the talent.

I haven't heard of this disability either, so that's great the author is bringing awareness to it in the novel!
