The Night of Many Endings by Melissa Payne
So, this may be an odd one - I did not finish the book but I recommend others read it. Keep reading for my thoughts...
Imagine getting snowed in to your local library; stuck for an entire night with strangers. What would it be like? Could we take the night to get to know each other? Could we leave the next day with more peace than we started with?
I deal with chronic pain and this had such good representation of a woman who dealt with chronic pain for years. She was an older woman who had become bitter and impatient with others. I know I can be impatient when my pain flares up but I do not want to become that - I do not want those qualities to describe my personality. I had to stop reading, because it was a little too real for me and it touched a spot in my heart that holds a real fear.
I think this is going to be interesting for others though. I liked the "bottle episode" elements - everyone stuck only in the library for a snow storm. If you read it, let me know how you enjoyed it and your thoughts on the characters.
