So, I'm not one with sappy romance novels, but I've made an exception. I am currently reading a book called "Tell me three things." and it completely has me hooked. The only time I've had to put it down was when I was out with my crew. Or you could say "Krew" as they say it. But I love my family. Nothing brings me more joy than spending time with them. As you may think a person reading this, I am not just saying that I mean it.
But anywho back to the sappy book that has caught my attention. I am only on chapter nine so I don't have much to share. But this book shows the main character, Jessica Holmes, going through some difficult changes happening in her life. Due to her mother's ovarian cancer which took her life later on in the past couple years. Her father gets remarried shortly after the death of his wife, her mother, approximately a year and ten months later. Yes, as a person that basically had the same issue happen in their life. I would know that one year and ten months after the death of a parent is not enough time. Honestly, a lifetime doesn't seem like not enough time for your widow parent to get remarried. Alright, enough about that. Her father gets remarried and tells her that they're leaving the family home and city, Chicago, that she grew up in. To go live in another place, Los Angles, with a new school, and with no friends. It is well shown in the book that she is not happy about the changes, and is not looking forward to leaving all she knows behind. Who would be?
In the story, as she moves into the new home, she clearly cannot be settled, and she has constant emotions about her father on whether or not he hates him for a being a gold digger. Or simply trying to make himself happy again with a new life. Jessie appears to constantly think about the memories that she and her father had when her mother was still alive. Then, starts receiving emails from an anonymous person, giving her the rundown of how things went down in the school. This emailer's name happens to be "Somebody Nobody" and in the email's subject matter was always funny. It made me laugh in the middle of the library and some people actually looked at me like something was wrong inside my head. Nope, just book humor. As an example of the conversational subject matter, they would in order send is...
"Subject: Lazy, verbose, AND nosy"
"Subject: lazy, verbose, nosy, and... handsome"
"Subject: Lazy, verbose, nosy, handsome, and... modest"
Didn't want to include all of what was in the book because I, myself, am also lazy. This dialogue is obviously not funny but is an adorable flirting adaptation in the characters, ha, now you see where it caught me. I like to see this kind of dialogue in my books. Like they're talking back in forth in an email format, then a little bit further into the book it switches to them talking in a different digital formatting. More of talking in a chat box on your email, because he grows weary of constantly refreshing his email.
Now she is in school she is getting made fun of for her looks, and how she dresses. But that, of course, doesn't stop her from eyeing a guy from her class; that is also getting chased around by girls who are also eyeing him. Her thoughts mainly take control and you can tell she has a lot on her plate. Losing her mother, father getting remarried, moving, missing her best friend, receiving emails from an anonymous guy, then now being made fun of, and of course trying to figure out if "Batman" the guy she is eyeing, actually named Ethan; is the anonymous guy emailing her. A mouthful, eh? Indeed.
Now closer to where I am at in the book she is trying to have a decent relationship with her Stepbrother, Theo. He is not happy with the new marriage, and her father's new job at the grocery store next to the school. He is quite of upset at the fact her father is working there because he is working as a pharmacist. To Theo, that job is nothing, and he is embarrassed by him working there.
That's all I have for now and will update this as soon as I have more read. Thanks for reading,
