Geteilte Liebe (2002) - Plot & Excerpts

This book kills me. And not in the good "oh my good i love it!" way. Like i cannot stand this book. I just thinks so much is wrong with this story. The main character, Alison, falls for a boy named Sam. She keeps it a secret from her best friend, Isabella, but when they find out Isabella is going to die, Alison decides she wants to do one last good thing for her. She knows Isabella thinks Sam is attractive, so she gets Sam to agree to pretend date Isabella until she dies, then they can be together again. Already, I think that's a horrible thing to do. Her friend would think she was with a boy who liked her, when he's really in love with her bestfriend. Then, to add to how messed up it is, Sam starts to fall in love with Isabella, who is still dying. Now Alison is on the sidelines watching the boy she loves make eye contact with her while he makes out with her bestfriend that he also loves.The whole wrap up of the story is what really gets me. Isabella dies, and Sam and Alison get back together IMMEDIATELY AFTER. Seriously, at Isabella's funeral Sam and Alison are holding hands and barely mourning the loss of their best friend/ girlfriend. And to add to it, Isabella leaves a note for Alison saying she knew all along but thank you. Seriously? Why would you want to be with a boy you know doesn't love you? I understand she's dying, but I just can't. I can't with anything about this book. I want to give this five stars, but can't bring myself to do it. The book was great, but I wanted so much more. It ended too abruptly and I felt it could have been developed a little deeper. Give me more! I loved the characters enough to want more time with them. Kathrine Applegate writes beautifully and I am adding this book to my required reading list when I finally start teaching. Slowly, but surely, I am finding great young adult books that I want my students to read. This is one of them for sure.The book, despite how sad it was, did not make me cry. Perhaps it was because I knew what was coming from the start. Still, it was moving. Aside from length, I honestly don't have any complaints. I picked this book up at Borders for $3.99 in the bargain bin and it was worth every penny.

What do You think about Geteilte Liebe (2002)?

Pretty good, made me feel and think. But it was more the skeleton of a book then an actual book.
