Two way Street

Two way street

By: lauren Batnholdt

There are two sides to every breakup.

This is Jordan and Courtney, totally in love. Sure, they were an unlikely high school couple. But they clicked; it worked. They're even going to the same college, and driving cross-country together for orientation.

Then Jordan dumps Courtney -- for a girl he met on the Internet.

It's too late to change plans, so the road trip is on. Courtney's heartbroken, but figures she can tough it out for a few days. La la la -- this is Courtney pretending not to care.

But in a strange twist, Jordan cares. A lot.

Turns out, he's got a secret or two that he's not telling Courtney. And it has everything to do with why they broke up, why they can't get back together, and how, in spite of it all, this couple is destined for each other


My rating ****

When I first came across this novel I was a little bit skeptical about it. After reading the synopsis, let’s just say I wasn’t intrigued. However, after a little bit of research I found some positive reviews, so I decided to give it a read. Im glad I did.

It was a quick and enjoyable read. The characters and details are well- developed. The unique style of writing allows you to grasp the whole picture of the story. I love how the chapters are divided into Jordan and Courtney chapters as well as present and past. Courtney and Jordan are totally different from each other and maybe that’s the secret to their chemistry. She is the ultra-organizer, perfectionist, who has to have everything done on time. Jordan on the other side takes his life day-by-day; he is carefree and loves rap music. The author makes a reference to a popular networking site myspace, which makes the book very relatable and realistic.

One of the things that I loved the most about this novel is that it was hilarious!! I couldn’t stop laughing. I think everyone of us can relate to that “I hate you, but I love you” situation. What makes the plot much more interesting are the secrets, family ties, and best friends.

However, I wished the ending was developed a bit more…
