“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” To me, it wasn’t a proposal that was emotionally charged but rather a petty attempt to do the opposite of what daddy tells him just because he can. Oliver’s father’s declaration that he is NOT to marry Jenny otherwise he would basically disown him seemed like the catalyst for Oliver’s proposal and nothing more. The thing that really bothered me the most about this story was I never fully believed those two actually loved each other it felt far too contrived. And that’s the furthest from what I was expecting to feel from such a renowned and supposed emotional tale. But that’s the funny thing… it all seemed very impassive to me. That is the very first line of the book so right off the bat you know you’re in for an emotional tale.
“What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died?” And as the summary so eloquently puts it: “…sharing a love that defies everything yet will end too soon.” This is definitely a case of opposites attract with a touch of Romeo and Juliet syndrome they were destined to fail from the beginning. Jenny Cavilleri is a poor, wise ass sorta chick. Oliver Barett IV is a rich jock from a well-to-do family. *I plan to discuss parts of this book in detail so spoilers!*
