Looking for You by Kate Perry

5.0

So, I picked this book up as a daily freebie and figured "why not". Is is completely not my usually genre so I did not have high expectations. As it happens I was drawn in right away and couldn't put it down until it was down and now I must have the other 5 books in this series! What's more is- in addition to opening my mind to genres I'd normally skip over is... like I said in the title this book inspired me. The main character, Gwen is an artist. I myself used to draw, paint, and I am a photographer (on and off due to depression). There were these little conversations where, her artist self would talk with a non-artist and explain to them that they do not need to "know how to paint" and they just "sort of do it" and ... without giving anything away or using direct quotes... what this character said to non-artists and people claiming they "can't" completely inspired me to get my own art supplies back out and create some paintings and drawings. That is amazing as I have been in a deep depression, mourning the loss of my daughter since 5.2.2012... I used to have good days and bad days but lately, just bad days. Kate Perry created a character who has inspired me to get back to my artwork and I just KNOW that doing so will make me feel better.

Thank you, Ms. Perry for the built-in inspiration and maybe even cheering up I found in your novel. I can never thank you enough, really. You may have really helped me to begin to heal. I'd love to connect with you on FB or other media, if you're up for it. Either way, thank you so much.
