Hey there readers!!! The semester is officially over and I
am very happy to say that I have passed all my classes! I was very surprised considering
I struggled a lot but hey now that doesn’t matter. See ya later physics,
biology and chemistry and hello to next semester which is almost going to be a
repeat of the same classes just the next level. Awesome right? Oh well, I
passed!! *Happy Dance* Haha.
No I am
just going to enjoy my summer and read as many books as I want hopefully post a
little more on here than I have been. As long as work doesn’t get too crazy! This
past week I and my fellow co workers worked almost 80 hours talk about intense.
I mean for those of you who watch Grey’s Anatomy you know that the surgical interns
work about that many hours a week. It makes me feel great amounts of empathy
towards those characters and makes me wonder whether surgical interns actually
work that much? If anyone has an answer to that please leave in the comments
below. :-D
All
right, now down to business! I am only about a third of the way through all of
Sarah Dessen’s books. However if you guys are reading them then you must know
how amazing of an author she is. The books on this post are going to be Lock
and Key, the Truth about Forever, and The
Moon and More.
One of
the hardest things that people have a hard time doing is accepting help from
others. It’s especially hard for those who actually need the help. It’s
something to do with the human pride. We feel that we should be able to do
everything and anything because we are human. It’s part of the human
condition. Ruby, who is a character from
the book Lock and Key, is no
exception to this. Her mother abandoned her and left her in a dilapidated home
to take care of herself until social services stepped in and took her to live
with her estranged sister, Cora.
Cora
has the perfect life. She has a beautiful home, an amazing husband and a job. She
had everything and Ruby didn’t want any part in it, but like all things she
didn’t have a choice. She stayed living there and tried to reconcile her past
with her present. She got a job working at kiosk with a woman named Harriet. She
befriended the smart perfect boy next door Nate. Everything seems to be going
well until the one person she thought would never need help needed her to save
them. You will have to read it to find out more!!!
Death
affects people differently. Some use it as a means to push through obstacles.
Others use it as an excuse to be lax on their life. Some, well they pretend a
death doesn’t happen at all. Macy ( Truth
About Forever) was close with her dad. They went running every morning,
until one day she wanted to sleep in late and he went by himself. That was his
last run. He had a heart attack and passed away. Macy having changed her mind
went to catch up to him and saw the whole thing happen.
Fast
forward a little bit and it brings her to saying good bye to her nerdy
boyfriend as he goes to Math Camp and hello to a summer of working at library
with two girls who have great disdain for her. As she emails her boyfriend and
dares to say I love you to him and he breaks ups with her because of it. Some
boyfriend huh?
One day
she accidentally finds herself helping out a woman and her catering company,
called Wish, where she meets some of the most unusual people Wes, Bert, Kristy
and Monica, and she befriends them. She becomes exceptionally close to Wes.
They play a game called Truth. One person asks the person a question and the
other person must answer. This game brings them closer together and Macy must
confront many things that she has been trying to keep in her past.
The Moon and More is about a girl named
Emmaline. She lives in a small town with her mother. Her father lives in
another state far away. The only thing her and her father have to talk about is
her education. It’s the summer before college and she is dating a perfect boy
named Luke, but she begins to wonder if perfect is enough.
That
summer a film maker and her assistant come to the town to make a documentary
about a local artist who has been MIA for years. This is where she meets Theo.
Theo thinks Emmaline is smart. Way too smart for the small town of Colby. Suffice
it to say she and Luke break up and she starts seeing Theo. Theo is big city
type and he doesn’t get a lot of the small town things that people from Colby
get.
To make
things more confusing her father and little brother come to stay in Colby for
the summer as her father goes through a divorce. Two men who think Emmaline can
go way father than Colby, but neither know who Emmaline really is. Is perfect
all that really matters? Shouldn’t we always strive for the moon and more?
Keep turning those pages <3
