View all 12 comments. Dec 01, Lauraadriana rated it it was amazing Recommended to Lauraadriana by: No other way to say it. I knew this story would be touching, but it did more than that, it undid me. My goodness what sweetness. Alex has struggled with mental illness his whole life, he has been in very dark places. His only, constant light has been Everett's friendship, and the love of Everett's family. Alex loves Everett, so much, with everything, but with the regret that he's not healthy enough to ever deserve him.

That losing Everett can never be worth ha This was poetic. That losing Everett can never be worth having him to love. He has never been strong enough to be who Everett should have. He can tell the world in his poems how he feels, but not Everett it's too daunting. One year , he gave himself. One year he promised Everett.

Review: A Wealth of Unsaid Words by R. Cooper

He had to be on his own and and healthy, if he could do that, and if Everett was still willing then they could see. Alex's fears and struggles were so touching, his need to make sure that he could be healthy enough to be who Everett deserved. The sacrifices he had to make so that he could keep that promise. Everett did too, I could see the worry lines from years of needing to know that Alex was alright. That love that was fearless and brave and almost greedy. Because having Alex near and safe was almost the only thing that mattered.

That family, and who they were for Alex how they saved him so many times, and in the end held him so that he could stand on his own to feet. And he did, he did He learned to understand that Courage had to be fought for Loved this story, it read like a long lovely poem, so much so that I went and dusted off and old favorite.

This story left me with this verse on the tip of my tongue I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this" Have your tissues handy.

I really enjoyed the first 2 Beings in Love books, but this book was so beautiful it totally floored me. Its a Christmas themed one, but honestly that doesn't matter, because its about love - love for the family you're born with, the one you make, loving yourself and being a better person for those you love. Its really a simple story, Alex is a manic depressive, and has loved Everett since he was 12, Alex has been I want to stand on my soapbox and tell everyone what a terrific writer R Cooper is.

Its really a simple story, Alex is a manic depressive, and has loved Everett since he was 12, Alex has been supported and partially raised by Everett's family, and the two guys have been doing a will they, won't they dance for a long time. A year ago Alex decided that he needed some time to deal with his illness and takes a year out from Everett.

The book is written so elegantly like prose meets poem, some of the sentence structures are actually so poetic I copied them out. It's also so finely balanced between sadness, hope and joy that I'd be swallowing a lump in my throat then smiling inanely from one sentence to the next. This book doesn't spell that out, but its implicit in the writing and in how much Alex and Everett feel for each other.

There is a review I read where the reviewer, who is BP, said this book was the closest they had come to in reading about how they felt. I would echo that from the perspective of someone who has been married to a manic depressive for over 20 years. Updated after reading , yet again, such a good, good book. I honestly could not recommend this more. View all 7 comments. A get-well gift from the best cyber-momma ever! Thank you so much, Karen: I'll admit that the writing style is unusual and it took me a while to get into it.

I don't know if another book with another MC written in the same style would work for me. In this case, though, it was perfect. Sometimes, the writing seemed choppy and chaotic with sentences that at first didn't make much sense. But A get-well gift from the best cyber-momma ever! He has a bipolar disorder or he's manic-depressive and I think, the writing style expresses his jumbled thoughts perfectly.

I was brought to tears by Alex's story. He fought so hard to get better, healthier. He gave himself a year. A year to be own his own, without Everett and his loving family to support him.

Dec 01, Ami rated it liked it Shelves: There are some poetic words, some heart-felt moments, and most definitely some moments that just made my eyes go all watery. Especially if I imagine the struggle that Alex must've experienced, suffering from bipolar disorder he prefers the term manic-depressive , yearning for the constant in his life, that is his best friend Everett -- unable to say how sorry he is about his situation and can only say it through his poems. Then, deciding that he needs 3. Then, deciding that he needs to take one year away from Everett, to see whether he's strong enough to be without Everett.

Unfortunately, I had problems 'swimming' through the words. Cooper's writing style or maybe because the story is written from Alex's point of view, that the words jumble and seem chaotic. There were times in this novella that I struggled to understand what's going on I definitely give thumbs up for Ms. Cooper to bring a character with a mental disorder to the pages Having said all that, I still think this story should be read! Even if I won't read hers anymore due to the writing It's always tricky for me when an author writes about an individual with a manic-depressive personality.

I feel this way because a lot of my life is surrounded by people like that so when it comes to reading about them I nitpick the book and can't help but think it's nothing like that at all. This story, however, I felt like it showed more along the right lines of what someone with such a personality really acts like. The book was chaotic but, to me, it felt exactly how someone with a manic-depr It's always tricky for me when an author writes about an individual with a manic-depressive personality. The book was chaotic but, to me, it felt exactly how someone with a manic-depressive personality thinks.

They're depressive at times, gloomy, paranoid, impulsive and they can't help it. But with the writing and how choppy it may seem to others is exactly how people with such an illness thinks. It's not just an easy thinking process for them. It's complete, fucking chaos and that's one of the things that appealed to me with this book. I will say at the beginning I was confused because I didn't know where this was going or why Alex was so depressing so the first few pages I was left thinking, "What?! I thought Alex was already Everett's partner but then realized he wasn't so that added to my confusion.

After I found out that Alex was sick, it became a really great story, in my eyes. The things Alex put Everett and his family through were heartbreaking but it showed that they loved Alex enough to stay with him and support him through his pain. The tension between Alex and Everett is extremely high and all I could think was "why don't you two just get together already?! I loved the build-up, though, and I loved the outcome when they finally got together.

With that said, I wished this story had a bit more dialogue, it was spent too much in Alex's head and while that was part of it's charm, there is only so much depressing things I can read in a Christmas story. In the end, this story is a bit dark but it ends on a happy note. It's something I'd recommend. It was pretty uneventful nothing really happened.

That was a 4 star moment. And there was one conversation with Everett in the bedroom that I was better than other parts of the book. For me this was a three star book with a couple 4 star scenes Dec 01, MsMiz Tina rated it really liked it Shelves: Cooper wrote an excellent story where you will feel Alex, his illness and his story.

At one point, I thought 'I feel like I am reading under water;, that is how deep the writing went. Alex's illness and the impact it had on himself and those that loved him was so well done, so well done. While this story was over a two day period at Christmas, it was so much more than a Christmas story. Alex had set a deadline this Christmas and now it was time to see if all his work paid off.

Jan 21, namericanwordcat rated it liked it Shelves: I love R Cooper's writing and this is an engrossing tale of a couple coming together at Christmas time. The bi polar disorder that shaped one heroes life comes into play in a powerful way in this love story. Copper writes in deep point of view with lyrical language. I often love it but some times it is suffocating.

Jan 06, Mandapanda rated it really liked it Shelves: Touching Christmas story about a man with bipolar disease who meets up with his best friend after a year of deliberate separation to see if he can make it on his own. I love the intense wordy style of this author. The half-sentences, insecurities and interruptions that prolong the HEA for as long as possible really feed my preference for a slow-burn romance, although I know they can be frustrating to some readers.

Dec 01, Sadonna rated it it was amazing Shelves: The hell and hope of mental illness strikingly described. The fragility of Alex's "sanity" and life brilliantly expressed.

So knowing that Alex was bipolar made this book even more interesting for me. I was not disappointed in the least. This surpassed my expectations and gave me a truly heartfelt Christmas story. Al Wow, this was brilliant. During the periods where he was at his lowest, attempting suicide and manic episodes sleeping his way across his college campus he certainly had everyone in the family worried and scared for his wellbeing and future.

A year ago Alex made a decision. Everett has always been there to pick his best friend back up, to help him deal with life and make sure he keeps moving forward. He knew that as long as Alex was writing he was doing alright, at least as alright as his disorder would allow him. But a year ago, when Alex came and said that he was setting Everett free, that he needed time apart, Everett has never felt so adrift.

Alex may have needed to make sure he could stand on his own, but Everett never wanted him to have to. Alex battles with his depression all the time. His thoughts are that chaotic and the internal debate can be very depressing to see. The chaos in his head is a daily battle he must fight to have any sort of normal interaction with people.

I felt so much for the tortured unsurity that Alex was struggling with.

A Wealth of Unsaid Words

He was so scared to hope there was a future for him and Everett after everything that had gone on in the past. I really got from his actions that Everett was just as scared to make the first move. They were loud and all over the pass and yet you never doubted the love. It reminds me of home and the family I grew up with so much. The masses of cousins that are basically siblings for me growing up created just this sort of insanity.

The fact that Alex had this to fall back on, I believe, is ultimately what gave him the strength to try. Christmas morning was just so brilliant here. I was left wanting just a tad bit more though, because I was so invested in these two. I want to know how this works out with Alex trying not to rely on Everett to be his rock all the time, but fighting to be his own person in spite of his disease. I would say a happy 4. On a last side note thought, I think part of what I loved about this book was how hard the spoken word was for Alex.

He could always say what he thought when it was written, but to bare his soul verbally was panic inducing. Reminds me a little too much of someone I personally adore. Jan 21, Bea rated it really liked it Shelves: Do you like holiday themed stories? Usually we see this in an anthology as a short story or novella and the environment of family, love and redemption, and new beginnings are common. Cooper adds a bittersweet facet by using mental illness as a source of conflict and character development.

Alex has spent the last year trying to gain control of his life from his bipolar disorder. His habits and meds are working, so can he now take the risk to be the man he wants to be for Everett?
