    I have so many different thoughts and opinions about this book. I started out loving Has to Be Love, was super conflicted in the middle, but thought the ending was pretty spectacular. Like I said, conflicted. Our narrator, Clara, was rather frustrating to read about because she was so torn between what decisions to make about particular things, but she was a truthful character (to us at least). Reading Clara's justifications for wanting certain things made me more interested in the story and what would eventually happen…

Songs can be interrupted in many ways; some songs have a more literal meaning, while other songs require you to interpret the lyrics to understand the deeper meaning. Artists often use figurative, metaphorical, and poetic elements in their songs to help develop the overall message.

    Relationships are never simple, no matter how perfect or compatible two people might be. There is always a give and take, a compromise even, nevertheless when it gets to the point of wanting to change a person that is when a line has been crossed eventually, it can be degrading.

    “Love at First Sight” “Is Love at first sight realistic” and “are soulmates real,” are questions that are not fully answered and are still questioned by science.
