FANGIRL PART 2

 Possible spoilers ahead

The story continues then... a breakup, an interest of sorts on a fellow classmate, and suddenly, an unexpected twist in Cath's ' love life' Now, I was really invested. 

I spent all my breaks reading the book during the day. I was using my phone to read, so it was relatively easy. I was reading while having dinner, during waiting time between medical tests (Had a scheduled medical checkup sponsored by my employer)

Despite Cath's sudden interesting love story, she still had to face other issues. After all, a good story has to have challenges thrown at the protagonist from time to time, and as the reader you root for her. You hope gets a happy ending in the end. You hope she finally sits down and finishes the assignment she has to do. You want her to be happy until the end of the book, or if there's a sequel, you root for he to succeed till the end. 

End of Review. 

Seems more like a summary though. But like I said, I haven't written for a long, long time, and the rustiness shows. At least I can feel it in my fingers as I type.

Now, for my weird interest in YA despite being old. I know I'm more than 20 years older than these characters. More likely the age of their parents give or take a few years. Except, I'm not a parent to human children. But I root for these kids to have successful love stories. I root for them to be able to get their crushes by the end nd of the book, and I get undescribably happy when they do. But why so? 

After some thinking and analysis, I suppose it is because I sort of had a non-exixtent love life on my own at that age. I was a nerd for most of my life, focused on studying. I had good friends of both genders, and it was mostly that. I tried being in a relationship around that age, but it died a pathetic death because of our different ambitions, distance and the pace of our respective mental growth.

So I live vicariously through the love lives of young fictional characters, because I find young love to be incredibly confusing yet sweet at the same time.
