I am thrilled to have discovered an author who moves me so much.  WORK OF ART is a fabulous, realistic novel with believable, three-dimensional characters. Ms. Alexander is a great story-teller who hooks the reader right on the first page.  We meet Harper on the flight home from her mother`s funeral.  Although Harper is an accomplished artist, she is immediately judged by a snooty passenger because of her appearance.  Enter Brandon, who is brave enough to step into the fray.It is so refreshing to read a novel with a strong female lead.  This is a woman who has rebuilt her life in a believable way.  We learn about her past relationship with Ryan and what has happened to both of them in the meantime. There are a strong set of secondary characters as well.  Ms. Alexander has each of the three main characters (Harper, Brandon, and Ryan) narrate different chapters in a very effective way.Imagine a book so good that you laugh, cry and let out a big sigh at the end.Highly recommend!  I will definitely be looking for more books by Monica Alexander.
