I'm reading an amazing book right now. It's not published yet, and not finished but I've been lucky enough to get to read it along the way. I can honestly say I think it's one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. The love between the two protagonists is so real...so strong. It's a love that wouldn't be accepted in their world though. They have to hide it, and it's killing them. Seriously, this is one of the most unique story ideas I've ever heard of and it is controversial but she weaves us a beautiful, tug on the heartstrings story nonetheless. I think its a story that needs to be told, and I'm glad someone is telling it.
The thing is, I'm scared for the couple. I don't see a way they can end up together. There is SO much in their way. So many things to overcome. The last chapter I read a huge bomb was dropped on us and it left me feeling bummed all weekend. I couldn't stop thinking about the book, wondering how this will be overcame and wondering if these two will indeed be blessed with a HEA. This story as my entranced. It's emotional, but I'm so emotionally invested in it, there's no way I can stop reading it.
The good parts are oh so good, and when they're together, you feel the love lifting off the pages but I'm so scared for the ball to drop on them that is has me down. I've never really experienced this before, and I'm a little thrown by it.
Have you ever had a book affect your day to day life? Has a good book ever gotten you down?
All I can do is keep reading it and hope and pray the author can find a way around the conflicts and give this couple their HEA. She's a brilliant writer, I have no doubt she can do it and I'll be waiting with bated breath until she's done.

I know exactly what you mean, but I like a lot of uncertainty during the read. My downer usually comes if/when the book or movie doesn't produce a satisfactory ending. A bad ending can leave me depressed for days. Until I come up with a better one in my head. One that lets me sleep.
I do like uncertainty too but I'm just hoping and praying this ends the way I want it too. LOL. Otherwise I'll be doing the same thing, coming up with my own ending so I can sleep.
I can handle the downer story lines IF there is a suggestion of hope, even an eensy one AND there's an HEA at the end of the story.
