A Different Kind of Beauty — Alyssa Cooper

Since Lindsey was a child, she had been sure of one thing: Jesse was The One. She would be with him forever. Even though he proved her wrong at eighteen, breaking her heart and tossing her aside, he is the one person she has never been able to let go. Years later, Jesse has succumbed to sickness and addiction, but still, Lindsey is bound to him. She watches, hopeless, as her best friend and the love of her life tumbles in a downward spiral, trying desperately to understand why before she loses him forever.
