Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer Close


Hello. I'm a big fan of the writing, not the story. I LOVE the the tone, and the truth - this book answered a lot of questions for me pertaining to "is this normal?" or "should I be freaked out that I feel this way?" The answer is no. You are a woman and you are psycho sometimes and that's ok. (Also: everyone is crazy sometimes). 

I kept pulling for the 'main' character (if you can call her that) to be married at the end, but it didn't happen. I think that was the point of the book. She found peace, or acceptance, or - something. And it didn't come in the form of a diamond ring and 1.5 kids. I like that. I enjoy an ending ...and who knows, she may eventually, but the ending was calm. I enjoy an ending that isn't stereotypical and its honest and pure which is to say: it is what it is. 

Sorry, it's really loud in here so it's hard to concentrate.
