This is not a love story. This story may contain elements of love, sure. Every good story does. But love stories generally end happily ever after - the guy gets the girl, the family drama is resolved, everyone is so fucking satisfied with their life, yada yada yada. This is not a love story. This is a tragedy.
This tragedy is about a girl who was simply human, no different than every single other girl in every single other story. This girl had quirks, insecurities, imperfections, fears. More than anything, she was real. She didn't realize this, though, until it was too late.
