As he becomes an elite runner, Michael awakens to the possibilities of what his life could be.

NEW RELEASE BOOK

“Age of Consent is a daring and intimate novel that challenges our assumptions about romance and power. Even more than that, it captures the intensity of first love—its risks, its sweetness, and its lifelong imprint. Mark Thompson gives us a love story that resists easy judgment. What moved me most was not the scandal of the pairing, but the humanity of it—the way desire, conscience, and vulnerability collide.”
  • Sonia Pilcer, author of Teen Angel
“Forget the ‘Mrs. Robinson’ jokes or any ‘cougar’ stereotypes. Age of Consent presents an unorthodox love story, as kindred spirits meet in a high school setting where neither is the other’s teacher, coach, or counselor. The story’s brisk present-tense narration reminds us of the experimental Seventies in which it takes place. Sometimes a great love is nourished when a woman invites a young man to transcend his age. That’s the mythic essence of Age of Consent.”
  • M.J. Moore, author of Star-Crossed Lovers: James Jones, Lowney Handy, and the Birth of From Here to Eternity
