The Box in the Corner by W. R. Cummings

by W.R. Cummings

Life on the streets has never been easy for seventeen-year-old Charlie. But when she meets a boy with split personalities, it gets even harder. The way Ben sees the world through eyes of kindness and grace draws Charlie in. But his bursts in and out of mania become too much for her to handle. Each time he chases her through the city with a knife, she wonders how much longer she'll be able to stay. Desperate to escape Ben's insanity, Charlie hunts down a psychotherapist who claims to have a cure. If Ben's mental chains can be broken, Charlie might finally be able to tell him she loves him. Their lives could turn around. But if Ben can't shake his past, Charlie might end up with a slit throat instead of a happily ever after.

About the author

During the day, I try to keep two tiny people from licking electrical sockets, or filling the toilet with random objects. At night, I disappear into the land of writing. I blog about the world around me, create stories about people I've made up in my head, and blurt out inappropriate thoughts on Facebook. But most of the time, I just sit in my pajamas, and think about all the work I'm not accomplishing. I am so excited to share my journey through authorhood with all of you!

This is such a good, quick read. I love the characters and how they interact with each other. Definitely hoping they reappear in future books.

Easy read. Ms Cummings' first venture, hope for many more.
Life got in the way, I didn't open it for a few weeks and when I did I was right back with the characters where we left off.
