"It was as if we were all so busy trying to be happy or saying they were happy, but underneath there was nothing but bitterness, the kind that could only be released in ink, in words unspoken."
Let's be honest, love triangle and all these intoxicating feelings and being the third wheel and all that stuff is (I think) nobody's thing, really. Who would wanna be a third wheel especially when you're single anyway? Oh, and especially being the third wheel of your best friend and her boyfriend (whom you have a huge crush on), Anyone? No? Okay.
This book is recommended for girls or guys who broke or will break the unwritten rule that you shouldn't fall in love with your best friend's girlfriend or boyfriend. Not that I'm into this kind of shit but you gotta read this before all that shit happens.
This is The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott
SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!! SPOILERS!!
Brianna and Sarah have been best friends since like, I dunno, forever? But then Sarah has this huge crush on Ryan a really really cute guy who asked her to dance in eighth grade. But guess what, Ryan and her best friend, Brianna are dating. Complicated isn't it? It's like watching someone you totally like liking someone else; and not just someone else, someone like your best friend since kindergarten. How will that even work?
Brianna though (the bitch that I think she is, not that I've been in the same situation but still. I think she's a bitch), always invites Sarah to "study" together with her and Ryan. But yea, okay, I get it that she doesn't have an idea about what is up with Sarah and Ryan but hello? Just try putting yourself in Sarah's shoes, how would you feel, right?
She wishes she was her... wishing to be with him... secretly wanting him... but at the same time not wanting to break your best friend's heart by doing something for yourself; hoping for something that is pretty much impossible to happen... it's devastating.
But then something happened... awful and wonderful at once.
THING(S) I LOVE (OR HATE WHATEVER) ABOUT THIS BOOK
Sarah and the situation she was in. I hate it, you know? I mean even though I have not been in a situation as hers, it's frustrating, wanting but at the same time not wanting to do something for yourself because you cherish the friendship you have with your best friend. She cares about Brianna, of course. But what about herself, right? But okay. Yea, yea, I get it because if I was in her shoes, I would also think about the people involved. I would try putting myself in Brianna and Ryan's shoes. But all in all being in that kind of situation, it sucks. It just sucks.
In real life, stuff like this really happens. Not just in books and movies and shows you see on TV. I know because I know. It's hard being torn between going after the one you love and being secretly torn apart seeing the one you love being loved by someone else. We can't always have what we want without complications and everything. It's there. It's always going to be there because that's how life works. But one thing though, know your worth and don't ever ever settle for less than you deserve. We all deserve the best.
