The premise of the book alone is heart-wrenching. What do you do when you find the soul mate you've been looking for all your life, only to discover that she's committed to someone else--someone you also love dearly. Super duper angst is what you get. And the fantastic author makes us go through it as well, putting the reader's emotions through the wringer again and again and yet again.

'Denial' is about a very intense and passionate love that at times, seems to border on obsession. It is so all-consuming that the protagonists
I love the author's depiction of the ill-starred lovers. I felt all their pain, their worries, their conflicting emotions and their burning passion for each other. These characters felt so real.

I'm such a sucker for angst and I wanted to know more about how she managed to get through life with all the
I hope that the fact that this book is #1 right now in Amazon's lesfic category encourages the author to write more. I have read all her other online works and she is an excellent storyteller, even in a totally different genre like scifi.
Final Notes: Needless to say, this book is neck-deep in angst. So angst-averse people should avoid. Also moralists.
