Rough Start but A Happy Ending

Sinopsis:

Finally I reached the end of the book.
These final pages start after the dinner, when Juli didn't ignored Bryce anymore. Moving on, Bryce has been chosen as one of the top 20 "basket boys"which was an auction to raise money, but Bryce wasn't so exited about this because he had to bring a basket of food for the girl that wins him on the auction. Anyway, when Garrett knew about this he told Bryce that two of the most popular girls were gonna bid for him on the auction. So, on Friday of that same week, Bryce arrived at school with his "oversized picnic basket". He was kind of nervous about the auction because he thought it really was a "meat market". By the way Bryce was basket boy number 9. Later on when the auction finally started in was the turn on Jon Trulock(the boy that was before Bryce) but no one was bidding for him. Juli felt bad because she was the one that voted for him, so after a while Jon was sold to Juli Baker. That's when Bryce thinks that Juli doesn't care about him anymore. When it was the turn of Bryce, 2 girls were bidding for him, so he ended with the two of them. When all the "basket boys" had a date, they all went to the class multipurpose and had lunch. Bryce was with two of the most popular girls in the whole school and he couldn't stop looking at Juli. He couldn't stand seeing Juli laughing with Jon so he grabbed Juli by the hand and first he asked her if he liked Jon and then tried to kiss her, but she got to break free from him and when the final bell rang she ran home. Bryce got to admit that he does liked Juli. Bryce would't leave Juli alone, he would call he knocked the door all the time, he even climed the fence of her house just to knock on her window. But one day he went to Juli's house and dug a hole on her yard, then he placed a tree, a sycamore tree. Juli was shocked, but after she got time to realize that Bryce did change she wanted to talk to him and she knew she had to "meet him in a proper light"

Quotes:

"The old Bryce wanted to go back in time, wanted to hang with Garrett and short the breeze, wanted to hate Juli Baker again. wanted to be the man.

But in my heart i knew the old bryce was toast. There was no going back. Not to Garrett or Shelly or Miranda or any of the other people who wouldn't understand. juli was different, but after all these years thet didn't bother me anymore.

I liked it.

I liked her.

And every time I saw her, she seemed more beautiful."

I think that Juli made Bryce change, like he said she was different. She made him see people by who they are. Why did it took Bryce so long for admit that he liked Juli? Does he was afraid of what people would think about him? Me myself don't really take this amount of time to figure out what my feelings are.

"Then the basket boys came out of the stage. Bryce looked so adorable holding a picnic basket with red-and-white-checked napkins peeking out from either side, and the thought od Shelly Stalls flipping one of those napkings into her lao nearly made the bills in my pocket burst into flames."

Juli don't want anything to do with Bryce but she also don't want another girl to have lunch with him. Like Bryce, what is making Juli hesitate about her feelings? Why is she jealous? Maybe she still have feelings for him.

Final Thoughts:

I really, really liked this book. It explains  the two main characters points of view and show different perspectives of what happened. Once you start reading this book you can't stop reading it. My last prediction was right Juli and Bryce are starting their friendship all over again but this time withought lies. I stongly recommend this book to people who like to read, I really enjoyed reading this book very much.

Apologies and Regret

Sinopsis:

In these 42 pages didn't happened much.

Bryce doesn't know how to defend other people. I say this because Garrett told Bryce that the retarded uncle of Juli must give him a message from her. On the other hand, one Sunday morning Juli and her father went to visit David (Juli's uncle) at Greenheaven. Juli was a bit scared because she never met him and she didn't really know him. By the way Juli and her father went to Greenheaven because it was David's birthday. So, after they gave him his present all three of them went to get some ice-cream. Right then, when David's cone smashed into the table and into the floor, he had a meltdown. That's when Juli understood the situation of his uncle and wondered what else could have happened in the past. Anyway, when Juli and her father were arriving home, he apologized for "providing" so little to her and the family. When they finally arrived Trina announced that Patsy had invited them over to dinner Friday night. Days after that event, when Juli was at the library she overheard Bryce's and Garret's conversation. She heard them laughing at his uncle, which made her very angry. Anyway, the day of the dinner arrived. In the viewpoint of Bryce, he felt uncomfortable because Juli had told him she heard mocking his uncle, but still could not stop looking at her. In the view of Juli, she has every right to not go for all that Bryce has done to her, but she didn't say a word because her mother seemed so happy for the dinner. Surprisingly Bryce tried to apologize to her but she didn't let him at all, she also didn't wanted to talk at him too. But after having time to reflect, Juli felt like the "rude" one and SHE went and apologyzed to Bryce.

Quotes:

"A man appeared at the door. A man I would never have picked out as my father's brother. He was stock, with thick brown glasses, and his face looked puffy and pale. But he threw his arm around my father's chest and cried, "Woobbad! Yaw heew!"

I think that Robert is so grateful and careing for his brother. He sent him to Greenheaven, he made sacrifices only for him to be happy, and he made sure he was all right and comfortable. I think Juli is lucky to have such an amazing father, and I think David is very grateful to have a brother that cares this much about him.

"So I'm standing there, wishing I'd punched Garrett out in the library so Juli wouldn't stick me in the same class as someone who makes retard jokes."

I think that Bryce finally reflected on what he should've done instead of just keep it  to himself. He feels bad about what he had done, and he does apologyze but Juli does not forgive him. This is making Bryce regret everything he made.

Final Thoughts:

Well, in the next forty-two pages what happened was that Bryce and Garrett made fun of Juli's uncle, Juli gets to know David, the Bakers and the Loski's have dinner, Juli tells Bryce she is mad at him although he apologyzed. My prediction was right!!!! Juli finally wants nothing to do with Bryce but he keeps apologizing. I think that further in the book is that Juli forgave him and they start their friendship from the begining.
