This wasnt a hard book to read and was easy to keep up with all the detail and dialouge that appeared on every page. There was nothing confusing about this story. The auother really knew where the story was going and how every bit of dialouge counted and had a reason of being said. From reading many teenage love story this isnt that different from them all because they all have the same elements of climax like when Kate gets jealous when Richard brought Fleur along. Finally being done with the story i have to say my favorite part was when Richard took Kate ice skating alone, just the two of them and he couldent skate very well so Kate had to help him. This is definitely a new favorite of

    Although, some parts kept me insanely hooked, most of the novel was very plain. First off, the whole plot was very basic; practically a rip-off version of The Bachelor but set in a castle. The main idea of the novel had been done many times, and in this novel the execution was not professional either, so it was not an enjoyable read. Second, the world building was not there at all. I could never truly visualize their country and surroundings, as Cass never went in-depth and incorporated any details.

    When Matt tells Kate that he is gay, and that he’s dating her best friend Andy, Kate realizes it is impossible that Matt could ever like her back. She ends up going to a party with another friend Noah, a spark ignites, and in a moment they hold hands; a moment of reality quickly turns into fantasy,“And just like that, he lets go, and I don't know what to make of any of it. On the bright side, obsessing over the presence and absence of Noah’s hands makes for a more than decent distraction” (304). Kate “just like that” has not carefully picked or planned out, or orchestrated any of this in her head. She is developing a real authentic connection with Noah, and now has to be vulnerable.

    It was slightly confusing at times, and the plot would be somewhat boring at times. Most of the characters were developed well, but some characters were confusing and seemed all over the place. The conflict, however, was very true to life, as elephant poachers do exist, and it’s apparent that the author did her research. The ending was quite bittersweet, as Date Bed had died by the time the family found her, and makes the reader unsure whether the elephants did end up making it to the Safe Place after all. There is also a lot of in-depth analysis required to fully understand the book, else the reader may get quite lost in the plot.

    Although I did get confused while reading the book a few times, I think most individuals would enjoy it. I read this book all in one day, as it was a type of book that is super hard to stop reading after you start it. I wouldn’t recommend starting this book, if the reader doesn’t have time to read a majority of the book in one sitting. I believe a busy person would get too confused and lost in the book, since they wouldn’t have time to sit down and read the whole book. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone under the age of fourteen, as it can be very sad at times.

    the second half of the story the plot digresses from that and becomes more about trying to bust the coach for his wrong doings. It left me scratching my head as to why, when, where and how something happened far too often. Although the plot is a bit convoluted at times it is fairly good as a whole. I feel this book has a fairly sub-par plot and supporting characters but the great protagonist is what is keeping this book afloat. Without him this book would not have been a below average book

    We live in a society that has increasingly demoralizes love, depicting it as cruel, superficial and full of complications. Nowadays it is easy for people to claim that they are in love, even when their actions say otherwise, and it is just as easy to claim that they are not when they indeed are. Real love is difficult to find and keeping it alive is even harder, especially when one must overcome their own anxieties and uncertainties to embrace its presence. This is the main theme depicted in Russell Banks’ short story “Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story,” as well as in Richard Bausch’s “The Fireman’s Wife.” These narratives, although similar in some ways, are completely different types of love stories.

  • If I Was Your Girl Essay

    758 Words  | 4 Pages

    Russo’s description of the neighbourhood was so vivid and detailed that I could easily picture myself eating pancakes in the local diner, which alongside the rich language used aided my understanding of the plot. From the rusty school bus to the annoyingly curious neighbours, every aspect of the story was entirely believable. The one downside I noticed to If I was Your Girl is that the pacing of the plot varied, as while the middle of the novel was equally as interesting and well written as the rest, I found that some of the main events were rather spaced out which led to some chapters that were dragged out more than they should have been. In comparison, I found the important events near the end of the novel rushed, which left me wishing for more closure when I completed it.
