A classic tale of boy meets girl, falls in love with girl, and has his heart broken by said girl. Based on true events from the author's life, Racquets & Rocks tells the story of the on-again, off-again romance between Ben and Scarlette, two college kids who love each other but can't seem to make it work. After Ben bumps into Scarlette months after their last encounter, their feelings swell up once again, but will it last this time? Not at all a romance, this novella is a witty look at the effect a broken heart can have on a man told in the first person. A linear story with many asides, cultural references, and back story from Ben, the main character; Racquets & Rocks reads like a story being told from one good friend to another.
