Reality sucks.
I mean, come on, we read all these romantic comedies all day long, so much that we can recite the cycle; girl bumps into bad boy who's basically a giant douche and but is actually a sweetheart with family issues. They fall in love and the girl's boy best friend chooses then to confess his oh, I don't know, fourteen year old feelings to her but it's too late.
Are we on the same page?? If you read as much as Emai Carter, then you get what I'm ranting about.
Being home schooled for the majority of primary school, Emai was given all sorts of romance books to keep her laughing. After a while, she managed to convince her mom to allow her to attend a high school. Like us, she figured that every single word spouted may just be what I call complete and utter bullshit. But Emai Carter is stubborn and set on experiencing romance in high school and at the same time, how much of high school is actually true.
