10 reasons not to fall in love

Today I read a book named “10 reasons not to fall in Love”.

From the title, it sounds like a funny quirky where this guy would try to prove the girl wrong and make her fall in love with him.

But it is more than that.

It is about a Mother (Jo Gilroy) single-handedly raise up her son (Alfie,2 years-old) as the father walk out of their life when Alfie was only one. She is a strong woman trying to become the best mother to her boy because her mum was too stern on her. To her mother, she was an utter disgrace and a failure.

Then this guy, Dan Brady came along to romance her.

It is his story that makes me feel so attached to this book.

His father is a drunkard and often beat up his mum.

Nobody can truly understand what it feels like. 

To watch two parents fight.

The funny-bad feeling in your stomach.

The want yet utter helplessness to want to stop it.

Asking how did it end up like this and blaming yourself.

Wanting someone to whisk you away so badly from all this.

The you that is crying so bad inside and breaking apart within

yet 

still trying so hard to face everyone like everything is alright and okay

All you wanted was love

however

All everyone know is to look at you and pity you. 

Go read the book. It is really awesome and very nice. Never tell someone you understand what their situation is like unless you have never been in it before. Because you can never truly know how it feels like unless you are one of them...
