ANGEL by Alex Norris
I don’t ordinarily read M/M stories, but I’m glad I did this one. It took a while for me to get into the story, not because of the gay theme, but for the different cultural and younger generation difference. I never heard of half the musicians / bands mentioned in the story. LOL.
Suffering
from a broken heart, Lewis goes to the local club to get roaring drunk with his
fellow college friends, when he stumbles across a homeless woman named
Rosie. Through her he hears about a
church that one day a week offers a free meal for the homeless and elder
residents of the area. Feeling worthless
and lonely, he decides to volunteer at the church and it opens his eyes to the
REAL world around him. Because he comes
from an affluent family who can afford to send him to Cambridge, he starts
wondering why he was so lucky and how can he help all the homeless people that
are so easily ignored.
This
is a well-written self-awareness tale. Lewis
puts himself in risky and dangerous situations to help the homeless people he
has come to know and love. Harry, the
painter, that Lewis gives money to so Harry can continue his painting / graffiti
around the town. But Lewis wasn’t
prepared for what Harry finally painted.
LOL. And then there’s Rosie who’s
afraid to move into a hostel to get out of the freezing cold, because of past
events.
The
characters are real as well as the settings.
There is some sexual context, but not overly graphic. If you''re not offended by M/M I highly recommend this
book and give it 5 feathers.
