Second Chance Summer
by
My brother opened the door of my room to find me in a sea of kleenexes, sobbing and crying my eyes out more or less like this. (But probably I was worse, I'm the ugliest cryer in the world. Seriously.)
He blinked, saw the book in my hands and blinked again.
He didn't say a word, just closed the door very quietly and walked away even more quietly.
I think I actually scared him.
---EDIT---
My brother opened the door of my room to find me jumping on the bed and screaming like a banshee "OMG I can't believe it!!!!!! More than 200 likes!!!!!! Oh. My. God.!!!!! Two-freaking-hundreeeeeeeedssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He blinked, saw the computer on my desk and blinked again.
He didn't say a word, just closed the door very quietly and walked away even more quietly.
I wouldn't be surprised if he asked me a DNA sample to test our kinship.
(Just in case. Because, you know. Madness could be hereditary.)
PS: I am truly happy you enjoyed my review! Thank you for the lovely comments :) If you haven't yet, I hope you will read this book, which is one of my favourites.
PPS: My little brother is complaining that in this review he looks like "an insensible jerk afraid of a weeping woman". Thus, I solemnly swear he is sensitive and kind and truly NOT afraid of a girl who is crying. (See? I saved your reputation, little monkey! Are you satisfied now???)
PPPS: In case you were wondering, yes, I love him and I think he's the best brother in the world. (Ssssssssh... He doesn't have to know that!!!)

“You said you didn’t want to waste your time on people who aren’t going to matter,” I said, and he nodded. “But how do you know they’re not going to matter? Unless you give it a shot?”

Thank you Yas, I'm glad it did!! :)
I only hope you don't have a brother such as mine. He is a pain most of the time. (But, yeah, I love him. Sometimes.)
