We reach the end of this exciting book. Filled with drama, heartbreak, anger and joy! We start from chapter 28 ending with chapter 38. Chapter 28 begins with an intense situation already. Novalee gets a call from Brumett with a sound of urgency. She knows something’s wrong therefore she hurry’s over to see what’s taking place at their house. She get’s there and almost all the member’s of Lexie’s family are hurt and beaten. Who caused this? Roger. The man I thought was caring, loving and definitely sweet. Lexie’s love that I thought was going to be with her forever. It shows that people aren’t always who they seem. Reading this got me disappointed and sad. It happened’s all over the world as well, each day, abusive relationships that are reported and it frustrates me that I can’t do anything about it.
As we move on, things with Novalee and Forney get heated. The moment I have been WAITING FOR, since I started reading about them two finally came. Forney finally confessed to Novalee how he felt about her. Saying how much he was in love with her and how he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and Americus. Novalee felt the same way but didn’t want to express how she felt because she thought she wasn’t good enough. She thought she needed to let him be with someone who was equally yoked with him. Forney was obviously hurt by that, he left the country to get away from her. He wrote letters everyday to Americus but never Novalee. She was torn. This got me so frustrated, like I understand she wants the best for him and all but if she’s the one he wants, then just let that happen. It would have saved them both from feeling hurt. This girl doesn’t think sometimes. But in the end, she was finally honest, and it all worked out for them thankfully.
As for Willy Jack, things are never looking good for him. Serves him right. Things never did work out for him in the music industry. As we carry on with him he gets into an accident and has to go to the hospital. This hospital is near where Novalee lives, so she decides to face him, so see him and talk to him. When she went to see him she was actually pretty calm. I mean, if I was her I would obviously keep my patience but he deserved to be yelled at at least. But I applaud her on the control she had. The terms they left on were kin dove awkward but not awful.
Novalee’s life is a blessing. She has a stable home, a beautiful family, friends and Forney. Lexie has finally found the one and Willy Jack is…well…just no. Throughout the book Novalee changes but in a great way. She’s met some awesome people and matured into a great women. Overall this book was awesome. It showed me what can truly happen in the real world. How much bad situations can affect your life. Some parts made me laugh, some parts made me angry and some parts made me cry. I’m proud of Novalee and happy the way everything turned out.
I love the fact that you had said " and Willy Jack is... well... just no." I agree totally with you when you say that because, it is like you have no words for him because he is just so rude, obnoxious and just not a caring person. 100% agree with you when this book shows the readers what can really happen in the real world, it is scary.

I agree with how you said Novalee changes throughout the book in a great way. I found she really matured and became more independent. It was inspiring to me how she overcame so many scary situations the "real world" like you called it, had to offer. I'm happy she finally finds people who care about her too!
