Over
the Fence is a story about opening yourself up to the possibility of
friendship; of happiness in the face of disappointment. Both main characters, Nathan and Kourtney –
neighbors whose yards are separated by a really tall fence – have both had a
rough time with life thus far. Both
characters are damaged in their own way.
But over the course of the story, they each open up to each other and
become reliant to some degree on the other.

Kourtney
“Chef Girl” begins to feed Nathan – who has his own theory on the purpose of
the stove in one’s kitchen. Nathan
“Gnat” assists Kourtney, who is not the most proficient in the digital age,
embrace the use of the cell phone and improvements to her laptop. What started off as an easy exchange between
the two neighbors ultimately grows and leads to a life long relationship that
neither one realized they were in need of initially.

I
love Melanie’s writing style and her character development. Her use of the text dialog at the end of the
story lends itself nicely to wrap up all lose ends and shed light on the future
of these characters we’ve ultimately grown to love through the duration of the
story.
