Book blurb:
Lisa was never the type of girl who cared. John never seemed like the type of guy she would get along with, but love letters from the past sought to it that their paths would eventually cross and intertwine. As they further explored the possibilities, one of them began to realize that nothing was what it seemed. Witness a budding love just in time for spring with this story about hope, renewal and self-discovery.
A well written short story from the perspective of Lisa, a teenager who finds herself to be more comfortable alone than making any real connections. She has been reserved in her interactions with others since the horrible car accident in which she was the only survivor. Losing her parents at such a young age has changed her in ways she is still unable to understand herself.
A chance encounter with a fellow student opens her eyes to what she is missing in the way she views the world and helps her to realize that everything is not as it seems. My favorite quote in the book is "We love and hate strangers for what we think they are and what we want them to be instead of who they are and who they will be. We get attached to these ideals and blind ourselves so much that we end up looking like a fool."
The story alludes to a budding romance just in time for spring a time of hope and life renewal, and an encouragement to always see what is truly there in reality not what our minds think is there simply to make us happy. While we are left wondering whether things come to fruition, we are left with a contented feeling that things will work out for all involved.
Little in the way of grammatical mistakes which is a huge plus for a freebie found on Amazon. Pleasantly surprised by this and I enjoyed the story and the message it leaves with the reader.
