Those Books. . .

I hate how in all the books the girl thinks she's in love with this one person and the end of the book she realizes she really and truly loves like her best guy friend and he loves her back--the end. But that's the thing. . .It doesn't really end there! And seriously how many times does a girl tell a guy she loves him--and he loves her back and tells her--before they even start dating? NEVER. And besides that how many teenages really know what love is? Just because your heart flutters and your palms get sweaty and you feel nervous doesn't mean your in love. In all the books the girl claims she's in love with someone and finds her heart fluttering when some other guys smiles at her. Next thing you know the girl and the guy who makes her heart flutter end up together. But the stories never talk about what happens to the boy-crazy chick who watched the guy she liked crush on three girls (one at a time) and never think about her till 4 years after they meet and he turns out to be just a really awesome guy friend. Or what about the girl who confesses to her crush that she likes him so he dumps his girlfriend and goes out with her. He claims to love her but a month and a half into the relationship he ends it for a really dumb reason--then he starts badmouthing her and majorly flirting with other girls. . . .Where is the Prince Charming for the girl crying on the bridge. . . .the girl crying because she can't eat because he's there. . . .the girl crying because he's hugging someone else like a day after the break up. . .the girl crying because her favorite song brings back bittersweet memories of his arms around her. Where is HER night in shining armor? Does she even have one? Where is the story of the girl who's heart gets broken and nobody fixes it? Where is the story where the main character doesn't get the guy she wants? Where are the stories that have actually gotten in touch with reality? Seriously let me know when you find them because honestly all those bogus romances are making her feel like something's wrong with her. . .it's fine for those few girls who actually live those strangely perfect worlds but for the rest of the world who don't always get happy endings would really like to read a story that could actually happen to them in real life--NOT in their dreams. . .because sometimes. . .they're dreams make them cry too. . .
