I know the next book was supposed to be Atonement by Ian McEwan, however, that's a slow book and chick lits always steal my attention thus I'm writing about Vision in White. I finish the book awhile ago but didn't blog about it because I felt guilty to blog about it before Atonement. But I don't want to forget about this book so I'm doing this now!
At the start, I get a glimpse of Mac's life (being part of a wedding planning business) and it inspired me to consider to be a wedding planner. Mac is a photographer by the way. Anyhow, if I was Mac and my mother was manipulative or just plain stupid, I would just yell at her. Yelling is the best solution to release stress. I hated Mac's mother! Anyhow, I found it weird that she couldn't love Carter or she was afraid to. How can you be afraid to be serious with someone? I mean that's possible but every sign showed that Carter loved her and he was able to commit. She knew that she was able to but she felt that he was too good for her. Whatever, I love Carter.
If I was Carter, I would go get a backbone. He gets pushed around by his ex....sorta. The ex name was Corrine and she sure the hell was annoying. I didn't mind Carter did boring things....because I do them too and it's not like Mac did anything excited. She only went clubbing once in the book.
This book didn't have a big story line....it was sort of stupid but fun to read because of steamy parts and how Carter is dorkingly cute. Chick lits are such a waste! Except they're so addicting and are my guilty pleasure.
Atonement next and soon! I PROMISE.

Fake Boyfriend by Kate Brian
Vivi makes me so mad. She reminds me of when I was a child, thinking this whole world revolved around me. I am surprised that karma didn't take a big hit back to her. Because I sure the hell have.
And there's Lane. I must admit she is a pushover! I feel greatly sad for her but she does find love in the end. She could have found it earlier. I wish she would have said more when she yelled at Vivi.
IZZY. The most delusional character in the book. I absolutely got annoyed of her. and would have not saved her and would allow her mistake to teach her something. If it would....she was a pushover too...just for her sleazy boyfriend Shawn.
This book was so childishly written, I'm onto more great things. Atonement! Hope I can finish it. The reading level is quite above there.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
I've always suspected this book would be boring because I don't think friendship would be an interesting main story line. However, I fairly enjoyed this book because of the characters' personalities. It is difficult to find a Lena, the modest beauty, in the world and a carefree Bridget, whom in real life would come off as a maneater.
I don't think I can imagine myself as Lena because she is the person I would want to be but am not. I have the same difficulty as her for not communicating with my grandparents due to language barriers and the shortage of affection. In a way, wouldn't you feel that they aren't family then? But you would still give them the respect because they are your parents' parents. In addition, I would have the same reaction as Lena at first if I caught and thought was Kostas spying on me. I wouldn't have told my parents though because there was no need for drama. Except, the silent treatment would have worked. It's unbelievable that Lena pushed Kostas away in the first place. How can you do that to such a beautiful man???
Bridget is always craving for attention. I would be embarrassed!!! I'm thinking all the times I did do that and I feel ashamed and now I find myself taking a backseat on things. But if I was Bridget and did lose my virginity to some one who disagreed to before, the cheapness would be seeping into my veins. Maybe it's the loss of her mother that caused this or the absence of her father. In the end, Bridget needed to be saved.
If I was Carmen, I would long ago tell that speech to my father. That's all I can say.
Tibby, I don't know why she is so angst all the time. I don't even know if I used angst correctly. But I am happy that she found meaning for becoming friends with Bailey. The fact that she didn't feel awkward later is a question mark over my head. For Bailey too, wouldn't I feel awkward to make an older person become friends with me? Yes, I would.
I wish there was an audience, so I know what you guys think of my thoughts on characters. I want to know yours too.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
First, I'd like to say that I am not a Twilight fan. However, I do enjoy the plot line in the book. And, I also hate how Stephanie Meyers writes. She is extremely repetitive and redundant to the point that I want to murder Bella. Perhaps this is the reason I dislike Kristen Stewart so much.....nope, I just don't like her.
If I was Bella, I would try my hardest to get over Edward. Why? Not only because he's a vampire but because he's over a hundred years old. His so-called "soul" is more senior than my dead grandfather. That grosses me out. And you know how he's stone cold, I would find that a turn off. It makes me wonder does he feel like a wet fish or something. In addition, if I love Edward so much and he makes me happy, how come I'm always depressed? I cannot imagine myself as Bella!!!
If I was Edward, I would not have feelings for Bella. I'd probably like Alice...but she has Jasper or I'd like Angela. They're nice, fun loving girls. For the sake of it, let's say I do love Bella. If she agreed to be a vampire for me, I'd probably disagree like Edward too. The reason is that, what if our love did not work out? And she couldn't find someone else. Actually this works for both ways. If I was Bella, I wouldn't turn for him but maybe when we're still together and I turn 40. I can be a cougar....
Wow, Jacob is pretty stupid. I still doubt that Bella loves him and I cannot believe he forced her to love him. Doesn't that feel like the opposite of dignified? I also don't believe that he loves her because it seems like he only knows what's in the Reserve but not beyond it. I bet he can find something more satisfying than Bella Swan.
Yup, that's it! I'm reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares right now! Hope people are reading more in the summer!
