My Heartbeat

After i finished my last book i read a book called My heartbeat by Garret Freymann-weyr. Honestly i took it out of the library just because i wanted something to read and couldnt find anything else but i ended up liking it. It was simple and bitterwseet and real. It was about a girl named Ellen whos closest friends are her older brother Link and his friend James. She is in love with james and always has been and both James and Link know about it. Throughout the story though noone is sure if Link is gay or not and they are confused about whether or not they are a couple. Link and Ellens Father is afraid of Link being gay but his mother just wants him to be happy. In the end Linkis still confused, Ellen and James are together but james is going to go to collegde in Germany. So it really isnt an ending but i liked it. It was real life, they love eachother but are not going to see eachother for a while, and no one made decisions or anything but everything was pretty much alright.

You can read anything
by Pearl S. Buck and
really enjoy it.

I especially love the
way she developes
character. She did win
the Nobel for
"The Good Earth",
which is her best,
but I have never read
any book of hers I
didn't like.
