WHAT HAPPENS IN CAROLINA
In a season filled with holiday tales of Mistletoe, cookies, and gifts, this was more than a welcome reprieve.
George and Tina are two of the quirkiest people I've had the pleasure to meet in a book.
The inner dialogue perfectly matched while outwardly they seem somewhat opposite till they actually sit down to connect. The connection between the two was brilliant.
Sometimes when you only see things through your own lens you miss the animation seen through another's.
I WANT IT THAT WAY
This whole series has been so much fun. And not just because I was in my twenties during the 90's but because the issues still are relevant and it's great to see people talk. Not just about a great book, but also about how important it is for every person to be able to make their own medical choices.
The book is vivid in description and easy to follow along with you don't need to read the other books in the series but it does make for a more fulfilling read.
WHEN I COME AROUND
I'm truly sad to have this series end. I have started this review over, so many times throughout the day I just can't quite seem to get it right.
So I went back to the 90's and Greenday to see if maybe they had some words of wisdom.
"So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing
Was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right"
*Songwriters: Billie Joe Armstrong / Frank Edwin Wright III / Mike Ryan Pritchard
This I think explains perfectly Ford and Whitney's non-relationship. The group itself had so much growing to do. None started out wisely that first night the night of the hurricane. But in the end they all had to face self-doubt and no one quite as much as Whitney and Ford. And just like Whitney's parents tried to force her into something, trying to force something to not happen won't work either. Ford and Whit are clearly meant to be, if they can commit to the work.
So much character growth in this book. We really get to see Whitney evolve into a self-sufficient person. Not that she needs to be but if she chose to be she could survive on her own.
Ford finally has to man up and face his feelings. Which I absolutely couldn't wait to read.
I also have to note I immensely enjoy and appreciate that it is frequently brought up that it is completely acceptable and normal for women not to want to have children or to give birth. The tragedy that caused this to be a topic was I felt handled well within the book as well.
I have voluntarily left these reviews.
