Love Lessons by Jacqueline Wilson

Reading this book because Sarah forced it upon me. ;) hahahaha
And i started last night. read up to chapter eightttt.
Plus, i haven't read Sarahs blog about this book so. i don't know what happens next. DON'T TELL ME SARAH. OR ILL BLOCK YOU. :D Ill finish it tonight or tomorrow.


So far I've read that the story is based on Prudence, who basically all her life has been home schooled by her father with her younger sister. Her father is the type of character who seems to be very strict on his daughters, treating them badly by speaking to them i'm horrible ways, educating them but only about things that he feels they need to know and telling them he is right, no one else.
She begins to rebel and spends money her father gave her to spend on maths tutoring lessons (-only because her father is being made to) and things that shes never really had in life. For example she buys a chocolate bunny for her little sister as its her favourite, this shows how much she really cares about her, risking and spoiling her with a little something she never has. She also buys things like art paints because she has a passion for art but her father never really supported it and thought as "going to art college" was a waste and ridiculous idea. 
Her father suddenly becomes ill and is rushed to hospital as he suffered a stroke. Because of this Prudence and her younger sister Grace are sent to an actual school, by their mother as their father can no longer teach them. At school Prudence struggles to fit in and socialise with other to make friends where on the other hand Grace was able to make friends easily.
I think that this is relate able to some as sometimes its hard to make friends with people and open yourself up to some as it feels strange or makes you feel unconformable like it did for Prudence.


Blog again tomorrow night! 
ex oh ex oh.

The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

So I'm currently going through a faze of reading Sarah Dessen books.

The Truth about Forever is the story of Macy's life. 

When her "prefect" boyfriend Jason leaves for the summer, shes given the responsibly of covering his commitments like taking over his job of reception at the local library, which he feels strongly about.

Since recently suffering the grief of losing her father, shes been trying to live the life of being "perfect" as her mother wants her to be. Studying, keeping up with jobs, helping her mother with work and having no social life with friends.
This is relate able for me as i have thought that my parents want me to be "perfect" looking up to my sisters success and having to be exactly like them, but they don't really want that for me.

She meets Wes, somewhat alike her, sharing the common thing of losing someone close to them. they are able to  share their experiences with each other. They begin to grow a strong friendship between them, playing a continuous game of "truth", where they ask each other hard questions about one another and the other must answer truthfully. They end up knowing more about each other than they expect. 

This book has shown me that, sometimes there's more to people, that what you really know. You can't just know people really by "the girl whose dad died" its like judging a book by its cover.

She has a passion of running but after her fathers death, she never continued. Due to the fact that the morning he died, they were supposed to go running together, but she was too lazy. But a few minutes after he left she got up at went to join him. On her way to catch up with him, he suffered a heart attack, right in front of her. The guilt and the remembrance that it brought haunted her, therefore it was easier for her to stop running and move on. Giving up on something is common with people when they feel that its too hard and would be so much easier just to give up, because you dont have to try anymore and it washes away the bad memories but really you're never gonna know what could have happened if you kept going or what might have been.
