Paper CutOuts

Paper CutOuts by twistedcoincidence and astilbe13 was recently recommended to me by a few friends and I am glad that they took the time to point me in the direction of this little gem. There is a reality to the writing that cuts through to the heart of things and I have found myself in tears with this Bella.

She sees her life as a story, an empty one. The first chapter opens:

Ordinary: -adjective; of no special quality or interest; commonplace; unexceptional.

This is how she sees herself, how others have seen her in the past. But her story finally begins when she spots an interesting stranger from her office window. She is tired of being a face in the background and wants to be a lead character so, for once in her life, she writes her own story and sets out to meet him. In the process new characters enter her life and change her story forever.
