One Wish

Hi.
Morning people... I don't know why I am posting this but I suddenly have this urge to blog. Its been long since I blogged anyway... So, yeah...

Well, actually, there's a reason. You see, I just finished reading this book of mine ( Not mine actually) which I borrowed quite some time ago. 'One Wish' And the reason why I'm blogging now is because of my filled emotions in which I have an urge to pour out. I just finished reading the book and I cried. Especially at the last part. I HARDLY cry when reading books. Even if I do, its just 1 or 2 times. I remembered the first time I cried while reading a book titled 'Spilled Water'.  'One Wish' is a really inspiring and meaningful book. I could almost feel the main character (Wrenn) in the story... Her feelings, her thoughts and her actions and how she regretted. Thumbs up to the author of the book - Leigh Brescia. 

Here's how the summary goes: -

Overweight Wrenn Scott desperately wants to be popular and snag a hot boyfriend. Living with her single mom and younger sister, Karly, she lands herself a lead role in the high school musical, her voice for once overshadowing her weight. Pushing to get thinner by opening night, Wrenn's waistline shrinks as she learns all the wrong ways to lose weight from a new "it-girl" friend in the show. Geeky stage manager Steven has a crush on her. But Wrenn doesn't want to be seen with him - she's holding out for a trophy boyfriend everyone will envy. By opening night, the old Wrenn had almost disappeared. Things come to a head when a crisis reveals her weight-loss tricks, and Wrenn realises there are much more important things than being thing, popular, or dating a hunk.

After reading the story, I can say I somehow truly understand how she feels. Who wouldn't want to be popular? And its like only the thin and pretty ones can be popular... Somehow, sometimes, life just ain't fair. But then again, in the end, lesson learnt. Wrenn finds out she truly like Steven but Steven likes the 'real her'. Then he told her its better they stay this way and so on and so forth... I cried because its really sad and regretful that they couldn't be together in the end. (I like happy-endings...) He chased her for a long time but at that time, she only has eyes for 'hot guys' and she is somehow blinded by him being good and sweet to her. In the end, after rehab, she learns. I think if I'm her, I'll regret deeply... And... I don't know why lah, but I just cried. So touching... So inspiring... So meaningful...

Well, to end, this is really one book I recommend. :) I hope I can borrow more of these kind of books. It'd be better if its for teens our age... Till then. Bye. :)
