Straight Talking

 I finished reading Last Song last week. I just started reading this book by Jane green called Straight Talking. Im not familiar with this author and this is just one of the random books i picked up from the book fair. As i read the first few chapters i cant help but to feel connected to the main character, Tasha. How shes a total extrovert, has a group of friends who's so different from one other but are still so close to each other anddd how she just can NEVER seem to find a decent guy. At first i thought well of course im not the only person who can relate to this. But then as i continued reading Tasha suddenly spoke of her ex boyfriend,Simon whom she loved very much and how they broke up.

" Ive never loved anyone as much as you, but i dont know whether im IN love with you. You're my best friend but im confused and i need space."-Simon

 HUH! i thought. i found myself laughing as that line just seemed so darn familiar. I then continued reading...

"I dont know how i feel. I need some time alone to figure out what i want. I just need to be on my own." -Simon

That was it. i closed the book and laughed. I think i laughed for a good 5 minutes. When i continued reading, Jane Green wrote

" I curled up in a big armchair, squeezed into the very corner, hugging my knees very tight and stared at the wall with big drippy tears squeezing themselves out of my eyes and rolling down my cheeks until everything around me felt like a puddle of salt water"....

...." I wanted him to suffer by seeing how much he'd made me suffer. I wanted him to hurt as much as i was hurting"....

...." I didnt cry after i woke up, I think I just felt dead. A bit like life wasnt really worth carrying on with"

Ive always wanted to write about my life and as i read, it was as if I was Tasha being fooled by my very own Simon. There it was, my love life in written form. I havent finished reading the book yet. I dont know if Simon and Tasha are going to be together again, but in my very own novel, Tasha is just never good enough to get anyone who is even half as good as Simon.
