Wow...okay...I've never got into a story that made me feel so uncomfortable (And I have read
What was She Thinking: Notes on a Scandal---and can I just say I loooove Judi Dench in that film? ok...sorry tangit)...And I don't think that that discomfort is a total bad thing. I think that maybe this book bothered me so much is because I am personally a wallflower; a lot like Charlie, I am that shoulder to cry on...but scared to make a move in life (in general). I'm the girl, like Sam, that dates a string of bad characters, revealing nothing about myself to them because I want them to like me. I'm also a bit conservative...and this is somewhat of a 90s
Catcher in the Rye, beat style, Allen Ginsburg type of story...which I love...because it
does make me feel uncomfortable. So I do like this story...a lot...it made me think about my own life...am I viewer? or a doer? It made think about how I personally need to change some things, or else, face living
a life through someone else.
"...and in that moment, I swear, we were infinite..."
"I would die for you, but I won't live for you..."
"We accept the love we think we deserve..."
