The Single Girl's To Do List
I just wanted to share the story of the book that I've read. This book is one of the great books I've read. I'm a book worm, to be honest. I love reading books. I read books one after one. And as far as I can say, this book is blog worthy. So yeah, it's not a formal or a literally book review but maybe.. a "kind of" one. So here....
There's this girl named Rachel Summers that has been dumped by her boyfriend. Her boyfriend for 5 years. (Yeah, for 5 straight years.) Where she shares a flat with. They are live in partners for quite some time. (Or long enough for her to wait for his proposal.) The dumping started when.. Simon (her boyfriend) asked for some kind of a "space" or a break. It's like a time for themselves without each other. Rachel was kind of confused (Was he asking for a break up?). But Simon explained that it's not about breaking up. It's fine, nothing to worry about. He just needs time. Then they made the deal. It ended up being OKAY.
Few weeks have passed.. And Rachel's two bestfriends learned the "thing" and Rachel continously telling them that they are not broken up because they didn't broke up. And one day, after a month of that "break" slash "space" thing, Rachel waited Simon at the bar where he used to hang every friday night. Rachel talked to Simon, telling that the break and space thing is enough and beg Simon to go back home. But sadly, Simon told her... He just woke up one day and realized that Rachel isn't the one. "THE ONE"
**Honestly, is it really true that boys will just wake up one day realizing that the girl beside them is not "THE ONE"? The girl that they loved for a quite long time. The girl that they spent time with. The girl that used to be their everything. IS NOT THE ONE? But how? I just remembered what my mom told me before that.... Boys usuallydon't know what they have and what they really want. That sometimes they used to do silly things just because they are not sure what they really want. And they will just realize what they were looking for when it's too late. When it's gone. Mom told me that boys used to decide without thinking twice and whithout looking to other possible ways. Unlike us girls, we always tend to lean on and hope for the "WHAT IF's". Is it really true? Because this story made so much sense to me.
Back to the story....
(I won't share all the details. I want you to read the book if you like or really interested.)
So they broke up. While Rachel is trying to fix and trying to know every single detail of her "Why's" and hoping for her "What If's". Simon just told her that they are finish. She's not the one for him. And that's it. So because of the depression, stress and because of being hell'a sad, Rachel and her two bestfriends (Emelie the hot girl and Matthew the awesomest gay bestfriend ever) went to the pub and drink the random emotions away. Because Rachel loves doing a list of her Things-To-Do, they ended up the idea to do a list for Rachel until she'll become an officially Single Girl. (Note: Rachel has never been Single. She had a random guys before her 5 year relationship with Simon. Rachel hates to be by her own.) So the list is pretty awesome. (I guess)
Rachel is doing good after the break up thing because of the list. The list really helped a lot. A LOT. Rachel also realized that she can be by her own. No worries. No stress. She loves the idea of being FREE. So then, after quite some time, Simon called Rachel to tell her that... He was sorry. He's stupid. He just didn't know what he wants (something like that). That he wants to get back with Rachel. That he wants to get back to their very owned shared flat. That he wants to live with Rachel and get back the old life they've shared. (Just like the old times.) But Rachel being awesome, she refused Simon. (**And I admire her for that.) Simon was really sorry, but sorry, Rachel Summers don't want to get back with him.
This story made me wonder. And ranked my vote to my mom's saying to 10. Lol. I'm just wondering how could it be? Like how boys will just wake up and realizes that we, GIRLS are not the one for them? And why on earth they will just go back after they broke us into pieces like nothing just happened? Was it that so easy? Where did they get those guts? Like honestly, we, girls, always forget the pain because it's them that is more important. (If I'm not mistaken) But them.. How?
Did you ever wonder? Or it's just me?
I totally recommend this book, most especially to those who just broke up with their partner, and to those who still cannot move on. This story will help you think and realize what are the things that's MORE important in life.
It's written by Lindsey Kelk. "Single Girl's To-Do List"
