Slightly Deviant S J Alexander

Your hands are holding the tale of an observer, Pierce Katz, who falls for Avery Amos, a twenty-something artist from California. He recounts the poetic unraveling of Avery's story after moving to Buffalo, NY with her boyfriend for his MFA program. She jumps into the gritty urban lifestyle until one day her boyfriend disappoints her in an unimaginable way. Stuck in the middle of winter in Buffalo, Avery becomes slightly deviant by creating Guerrilla Art as a way to overcome the snow and the bitterness of her boyfriend's betrayal. Along the way, Pierce's narrative shows us the vulnerability and humility of loving those who are not ready to love us back, as well as the undeniable power of art in healing broken hearts.
