Hard Love

I recently read the novel "Hard Love" by Ellen Wittlinger, and I personally thought it was one of the most meaningful and significant stories I ever read. It felt as though Ellen understood the events that appeared in my own life, and wrote a conclusion novel for me. I also appeared to be very emotional during the novel.

The two main characters, John and Marisol, had truly touched me. John had been unsure of his sexuality and didn't know if he was attracted to men or women, but after meeting his zine idol, Marisol, John knew who his true love was. The only problem was that Marisol was a lesbian, and had no interest for John. Slowly, John and Marisol became closer and before long, they were known as best friends. John had never felt this way towards a girl, but was very dissapointed that Marisol was gay. Throughout the novel, I witnessed various sides to John. He was scared, happy, alarmed, dispersed and sad. His mom, never allowing John to go near her or touch her skin, had permanantly scarred John, while his divorced dad would invite John over along with several other girlfriends. With so many problems appearing in his life, will John survive his "Hard Love" ?

I have never read a novel so amazingly vivid and realistic in my entire life. I never knew there was someone else that had the same feelings as me. The only difference is that I am not in love with a gay, however, it feels as though it is utterly impossible to to go out with the man I love.

I am a victim.
