Summer Reading Blog 2
Although, I don't think I'll finish this book within this week, like I had as a goal in the last blog, I think I'll be able to finish up the book before the end of the month.
In this blog, I'm going to talk about only two characters, Min and Ed. These are the main characters and their desires and wants are very well exposed throughout the book so far, though, Ed's are still more a mystery. Min throughout the story she's tell wants Ed, she wants a relationship with him, even though she knows they aren't going to get married, she still wanted a relationship with him. She wants to show him the world from her eyes, the eyes of someone "different" as Ed would say. Ed, also wanting a relationship with her, he changes his routines for her just to make her happy. They both desire a relationship together, and we're both happy together, but the little things add up to make them break up.
At the end of the majority of chapters Min writes "...and that's why we broke up." I find that very interesting because the chapters that's written on are the chapters that are filled with the cute romantic scenes, you'd never think that event would ever be a reason to break up with someone! Handler's structure of writing really gets to me. The way that one sentence can run on for half a page, or how he jumps from one thing to an other, two things not really needing the other around. It's a bit annoying to me, that's why it's taking me longer to read this book than I thought it would. Great story, just wish the structure was a little bit more relatable.
