The other day while lamenting the inevitable failure of my unsteady relationship w/ my bf to a good friend, we talked about how things just aren't perfect like in the movies; how you can't compare your relationship to fictitious one's and expect it to hold up. It made me feel better to think that others might currently be involved in equally fucked up relationships, like, maybe it isn't just that I'm particularly pathetic. You know, you gotta look for a silver lining. It wasn't all bad.
But then I go and read a book like this. An honest to jehovah, real-life love story.
Fred meets Cati. Sparks fly, timing is off.
Fred bumps into Cati years later. Sparks fly, timing is right.
Only there's a catch. Cati has been married, given birth, and contracted HIV.
Fred is the kind of guy I would fantasize about meeting: someone who was so taken by me that nothing I could possibly say or do would detract from his adoration and desire to be with me.
This book is sweet. And while it...more
