eBook Review: "Tiny Little Crystals"

Synopsis: 

To every romance, there is a beginning. 

To every beginning, there is an end. 

To every end, lies guilt.

Thirty-year-old Seth England is living the life he never thought he would have. With wealth, endless female admirers and a house near the beach, he has no complaints to speak of.

All of that changes once he finds out that his high school girlfriend from twelve years ago was found dead, due to a longtime struggle with crystal meth addiction.

Memories of his relationship with the girl he first fell in love with flood into his life suddenly, making him rethink who he has become. With peculiar events and unexpected people coming into his life, Seth realizes that the girl he left behind in 1999 has finally come back to haunt him.

The idea for "Tiny Little Crystals" kind of came out of nowhere, and somehow it only took me two months to write it. It's my personal favorite!

This one in particular was very hard for me to write, however. It's some pretty dark subject matter, so trying to get into the mindset of the characters was tough. It was challenging, yet fun to work on at the same time. 

"Tiny Little Crystals" is a nostalgia-fueled story. It focuses on a 30-year-old man named Seth England, and he's taken back to a time he doesn't particularly want to remember, as it holds his darkest life secrets. Of course, the past has a tendency of catching up with us. 

Hearing the news of the death of his high school girlfriend, Chloe Tremaine, sends him emotionally over the edge. He is swiftly washed back to the time he knew her, during the years of 1998-1999--"the innocent years", as he remembers them.

The young love between Seth and Chloe is remarkably genuine and pure, but a dark turn devours everything they had between each other. And what is Seth left with, twelve years later? The ghost of his true love, always lingering in the back of his mind.
