"An Angry Man" by katinki

Posted by Anonymous

Edward Cullen is running from his past. Blaming himself for the car accident that caused the death of his sister Maria, Edward abandons his family and friends. Using alcohol as a means to forget, he hardly takes part in life. Yet when one Isabella Lovelace moves into his rental house, he suddenly has to face the demons he tried to suppress for so long.

An Angry Man is perfectly written and absolutely realistic. Edward is an alcoholic - more than once, he drinks himself into oblivion and forgets all about the world around him. When Bella becomes his new tenant, these things don't change. At least not over night. Yet after some time, Bella, who is battling her own fears and sorrows, somehow manages to show Edward the life he could have, if he was only willing to seek help.

As the story is completely written out of Edward's perspective, the reader is able to accompany him on his journey to sobriety and happiness. It's nerve-wrecking, funny, and sad. Just when you think he's on the right way, he succumbs to the darkness once more. You want to slap him in the face for being so stubborn and lost in unreasonable guilt.

An Angry Man consists of 52 chapters and a total of 223,323 words. All characters are human. The story is rated M for mature content.
