I downloaded this book as a free short read and read it quickly while on vacation.
I didn't really know what to expect from this book, there was a large gap of time between when I read the story summary and downloaded it, and when I actually read the book.
Basically the story follows Lindsey, a girl who is still in love with her ex-boyfriend and childhood best friend. He's also fallen into a world of substance abuse and does not have much longer to live. Their relationship is tragic. Based on what I just wrote about the plot, I would not want to read this story. It just sounds depressing. And it kind of is.
But I'm glad that I did read it.
Because I'll tell you this: Alyssa Cooper has a way with words. Her descriptions are beautiful. She has a way of making a simple scene in which nothing much actually, physically happens, and describing it in ways I would never have dreamed.
Read this story. Just do it.
I have Alyssa's full length novel, Salvation, ready to put on my Kindle. I've had it for quite a while now and other books just kept coming up, but after reading A Different Kind of Beauty I now know that waiting too much longer would be an injustice to both myself and Alyssa.
Well done Ms. Cooper. Well done!
