Hearts To Follow

2/14/15

Since I'm so far behind on my reading, I figured that I'd grab and easy read. So I picked up this book that I won in a giveaway that just came in the mail a few days ago. Anyways, this book is pretty much just three short stories put into one book. All are still pretty good and highly relateable. The first story is called Pretending. Basically a girl moved to a new town, formed a crush on the boy next door, and then he moved away. He ended up getting a girlfriend during the school year, which broke the main girl's heart. So she ended up getting one of her guy friends to pretend to be her boyfriend during the summer to make her crush jealous. Ironically enough, it didn't quite work out that way. She ended up forming feelings for the guy she was pretending with, and her old crush just wasn't who she thought he was. So long story short, she leaves her old crush on the curb and starts officially dating her guy friend. Happy ending to that one. Right now I'm about halfway through the second short story. Basically the guy that didn't win in the first story is basically having his story being told as an aftermath. Luckly he finds someone new, but right now they are just being friends. But I can see where this story is going to end up. I'm going to head out right now and finish the book. Then maybe get the motivation to finally read one of the library books in my back pack. So until next time....

 So I pretty much just read this book in one day. I told you it was an easy read and its a good choice when you need to do catch up work on your yearly reading goal. Anyways, I liked it a lot. The stories are pretty relateable with how short they are. Also it shows how high school can by sometimes with rumors and misunderstandings. Also it can be a lesson that what you have been looking for could have been in front of you the whole entire time. Anyways, I also like how all of the stories somewhat tie into each other. Even though they are about different people but it all still flows in well with each other. The last story is about a girl who is highly into theater and has a crush on the guy who plays the male lead in a play they are doing together. Honestly I can't tell you how it ends because I haven't quite finished reading the book yet. Guess you'll just have to get the book to find out on how it ends. So until next time.....
