A book full of emotions. If they’re going
to ask me to give a one-liner for this. That would be it. This book made me
feel happy, confused, agitated, excited, teary-eyed, heartbroken and calm.
Julia is a straight-A Harvard student who
was managing an anti-war protest when she met Crank. Crank, a singer in a band
called Morbid Obesity immediately was taken back by Julia’s mysterious and
goody-too-shoes type. Though exactly not his type, there’s something about her
that got him asking her for a lunch. To his shock, Julia agreed and from there
started an attraction between the two that either of them couldn’t comprehend.
Julia has this emotional baggage that I
believe is too much for her age. She went through so many things alone, I fully
understand why she chose to leave alone and her fear of trusting anyone again.
But I admire her strength of being where she is, her decisions in life ( though
she had her down times) and her simple way of rebelling to her parents. It’s
not just to have something to rebel against as Cranks had said, but it’s a
rebellion because it’s what she wants and where she could be happy.
Crank is a rock star. Can I elaborate more?
Definitely a hottie, currently included in my top book boyfriend! ***sigh
Anyways, he’s just all look. With tattoos and all but really a softie inside.
He was a playboy, are rock star licensed to be that??? But that immediately
changed when he met Julia. He went through hardships as well, but nothing
compared to what Julia had experienced. But he made good of it and became
mature from his experience.
These
two have a hot and called relationship. At first they were all like “I don’t do
relationships” then Crank had this realization that he wants something more. And
Julia was always panicking and running once Crank hints something about their
relationship and future. But I admire Julia for trying her best to overcome her
fear. And I was head over heels to Crank for his patience and determination
towards Julia.
The story is perfectly written through dual
POV of Crank and Julia. From these, readers could immediately capture the
emotions of both characters and fully understand why they did what they did, said
and decided. The other characters also gave color to the story. Every
characters, even if they have small roles in the story have something to
contribute in how the story ran through. I totally love Sean, not because of
how he is, but because how normal he could be. Crank’s father jack was
hilarious as well and such a fatherly figure. I suddenly missed my dad after
reading this.
But what I love most in this story is that
it’s not a simple story of a boy meets girl, they fall in love and the end.
There are other stories that runs around their story that gives the story more
depth and sense. A combination of love, family, healing, forgiveness and life.
A full package to a very endearing story that will make the story sigh and
satisfied in the end.
