This was .99 cents at the time I purchased Geek Girl on Kindle so I decided to give it a shot. This is a very short story. I believe about 17 pages and took just over an hour to read. The story packs a punch though and I loved it. Beth is a waitress who was born with a facial deformity. While she doesn't mope around feeling sorry for herself she also knows that life is brutal and people are not always kind to those who are different. Lucky is a college student who is a regular visitor to the restaurant and strikes up a friendship with Beth. He is told to bring her to the annual "dog" dinner or risk losing his spot on the soccer team. This is a surprisingly fleshed out story out for such a short book and Lucky, while not perfect doesn't react how I thought he would. Yeah I wish there could have been a little more and it's resolved quickly but it's well worth your time.
