Love is
never quite the same as it was in high school. Now that they’re in college, Amy
and Joe didn’t feel the same anymore. Joe was “so honest and fair and
normal”—everything Amy was not. (80) Then Amy sets her eyes on Trevor, the
blonde-haired rock ‘n roller. For Joe, he used to like a lot of things before
he liked Amy—volleyball and football and just hanging out with the guys. It
seemed like Joe just wanted to be a hard-playing bachelor again. Joining a
fraternity might just be the thing Joe needed.
Like an old
married couple, Amy and Joe just aren’t having fun anymore, and fun is exactly
what you should be having at such a young age. I really can’t blame them for
seeking out their alluring curiosities, especially Joe, who has always been
Amy’s baby-sitter.
Would they
ever stand on their own? I firmly believe that a person should be able to stand
strong on their own before committing to anyone. Be a “me” before becoming a
“we.” Believe it or not, I was rooting that they both cheat. Amy and Joe had
grown apart; they were not ready for “forever.”
The whole
story revolves around the overwhelming guilt Amy and Joe feel over the “bad
thing” they’re doing while memories of their love flood the backdrop. Couldn’t
they get over the fact that their relationship had changed and move on already?
A quick,
okay read. Don’t be fooled by the
“adult” warning; this is actually a clean story.
My rating: 3 stars
