Skylark And Rory's Story

Decent Essays
Skylark and Rory’s story is what being a teenager and high school is all about. The peer pressure, the first kiss, first love and first time. The first half of the book is all about doing stupid things and being obsessively in love with a boy. While the second have is all about growing up and being responsible. Rory changes and does a lot of growing throughout the book. There were times when I wasn’t too happy with her decision, but at times understandable because of her age. I wasn’t too fond of Skylar at first because of how he treated Rory, but he won my heart before the end with his charms and sweetness. I wasn’t too happy for what Tristan had to go through, my heart hurt for his pain. I hope that he gets his own happy ending, as he was
