BOOK SUMMARY
PURE. UNPLANNED.
PERFECT. Those were Nick’s summer plans before Sasha stepped into the picture.
With the collateral damage from his parents’ divorce still settling and Dani
(his girl of the moment) up for nearly anything, complications are the last
thing he needs. All that changes, though, when Nick runs into Sasha at the
beach in July. Suddenly he’s neck-deep in a relationship and surprised to find
he doesn’t mind in the least. But Nick’s world shifts again when Sasha breaks
up with him. Then, weeks later, while Nick’s still reeling from the breakup,
she turns up at his doorstep and tells him she’s pregnant. Nick finds himself
struggling once more to understand the girl he can’t stop caring for, the girl
who insists that it’s still over. (Credit: Summary from the back of the
book)
So yeah? You had
the summary out there. I would say that the book was pretty unique. This book
was actually the first ever novel I’d read that is coming from a man’s
perspective. We all know that women are more likely to speak and talk almost
everything about their lives. That’s make this novel pretty much different from
others. You know honestly speaking I always wanted to know what’s inside of a
man’s head. You know, men are pretty much like a big secret. And that’s the big
difference of Nick among other protagonist.
Nick showed his
love, weakness, care, and everything that can rarely be found among men. He’s also shown that “speechless” thing which
is very much common among men. You know, they want to say something but they
can’t just really express their self though. I don’t know why men are like
that. They always tend to act as if they are a maze game where in you have to
go and figure them out all by yourself. It’s kinda depressing though. How men
do usually act as if they don’t really care where in fact they cared a lot.
Some may act as if they cared about you but the truth is they don’t. It’s
really different. They were like a jumbled letters where in you can find different
meaning out of it. They were just really hard.
The funny thing is;
that is what I like most among men. I like their way of being so mysterious. I like
men who are showing their superiority and control. I am more challenge but not
all the time though. Yeah, guys are full of secrets but I think being a girl is
much more an adventure of being a man. Girls are much more difficult news
especially to guys. Like Sasha in the novel. She’s so perfect to show those men
out there that women are a great challenge. That they can’t just read
everything that is on our mind. Sometimes they really need to learn how to read
between the lines.
Going back to the
novel, I just really don’t like what Sasha did like aborting their supposed to
be child. Yeah I get it that they were just sixteen and they can’t have it.
Sorry but I am actually standing on a pro-life side. It’s actually standing for
what you did. They had fun so they have to take responsibility to whatever happens
afterwards. That is always the problem among us humans. We all know how to
enjoy things up but not all of us know how to handle it when things get rough. It’s
all about running, leaving everything behind us. I understand, in the end
everything will depend on us. After all it’s our life. But we must at least
give consideration not only on ourselves but to other people who are involved
as well.
Yeah I know, I
think I am being so personal now. So let’s just leave everything behind as I
close the book. Good night folks.
