It is often the curve balls that hit you. The story told from another perspective or by a different narrator than usual. For me, Brokeback Mountain is a perfect example. Maybe, the most beautiful love story ever propagated on film. Here is a book where the protagonist is a teenage girl who is challenged by anxiety and OCD in her search after a fugitive billionaire. However, it is mostly a fine and poetic account of young love. I was touch by the story and within a few hours, I finished the book. I can recommend it to everyone at the age between 14 and 100 years!
