Reading Response #2: You'll Always Be Mine


       In this book I would say I know what's going on half the time. Not only am I confused, but the characters definitely are too. As a reminder, this is the sequel to the book I blogged about previously. The two survivors; Summer and Becca have agreed to make Clover pay for what he's done. The initial idea was to hide weapons in the cellar such as; bats and knives. When the two meet up in the cellar Becca had brought a gun. Summer just wanted him to be as hurt as herself and the girls were, but Becca is seeking for murder.
       Meanwhile, Clover escaped the prison guards in a car accident and tried to find his way back to "his" girls. This man obviously has some psychological issues. Here's what he has to say to Chantelle in the passage, "I'm not a bad person, Chantelle; I just stand up for what I believe in. I'm not one of those people that say one thing and do another. Actions speak louder than words." I chose this passage because it proves that people think differently. To him he believe he does no wrong and good for the world, Chantelle shortly believes it too.
       While searching for them, he comes across another prostitute, Chantelle. Although he is disgusted by her, he does not kill her. He "falls in love" with her, shocker. She does not like her life, she is only a prostitute because she needs the money. That being her reason for her "disgusting ways", Clover agrees to help her by paying for her college funds if she agrees to be with him and live with him. Shortly she finds that Clover isn't the sweet man she thought of him to be. She finds out his past and still stays with him. Could it be that they are "in  love" or is she too afraid to run away? That is a question I will have answered in my next post!
