EXCERPTS
She turns to look at me and for a moment, just one brief
moment my mind swirls with colours. The make-up is gone and the waning sun
illuminates her skin. She look different. So different. A better different.
I should walk away. I don’t talk to holiday makers unless
I’m taking their money in the shop.
I don’t.
Instead I fold my legs and sit on the sand. My fingers
automatically pick up a splinter of driftwood, as I cast my eyes up at the sun
and start to draw.
“So do you have a name girl with the bangles?” I’m trying to
remember what the young girl who was with her in the shop called her yesterday.
Becca? Something like that?”
Turning to me with a frown on her face she bites her lower
lip. Jeez, I only asked her name.
The frown and the angry glare instantly make me recall her
name. “Bex.” I answer for her. The frown deepens.
“No one calls me that, only my sister.”
“Well I don’t know what else to call you?” I prompt. Her
feistiness is rather amusing, it’s actually doing a good job of distracting me
from the usual shit I try to keep out of my head.
Her top lip curls a little in distaste at my goading. She
really doesn’t want to tell me her name. Who doesn’t want people to know their
name? My eyes flick over her with a little more interest. She is rather pretty.
Hot, Dan would call it. But I would go with pretty. Pretty is a more delicate
sounding word, easy to pair with the freckles and flame hair.
Oh good god. I’ve realized what I am doing? I’m looking at
another girl. I try and turn myself away from her a little. She must register
my movement because she speaks, her voice low like she is sharing a secret.
“Rebecca.” She clears her throat. “My name is Rebecca.”
Was not expecting this book to give me the emotions it did! I'm so sure I really knew what to expect when I took this book on for review. But with saying that, there's not a single amount of regret! Every bit of this book is extremely good, emotional...yes, but good! Makes you think of just who deals with life like these two do, or maybe yourself. A great book to add to your read list or to start reading now!
