I finished the book Exes Anonymous by Lauren Henderson in a week. (Image on Top) If I must rate it, I would rate it 3/5 stars. I have a feeling the book is made for 15 year olds (darn it) because the use of English in this book was rather simple and the description was not vivid enough. The sexs and conflicts scenes were left to the reader’s imagination. No stimulating languages. ...What?
Fortunately, the story line and the plot of this book are rather quite interesting. I didn’t say it was on top of the world interesting, I just find it quite interesting. You know donut interesting.
A story about a girl who’s been dumped by her so-called love of her life. After the break-up, she basically could not think about anything else, but her ex and their wonderful memories. Not days not weeks but for months!!!!
*To all my girlfriends reading this, don’t be like this. Seek help.
The book shows and explain how ugly and awful it looks like to be addicted to your ex. It's as if like you don't have a life. * i second that*
I find it so stupid of her to get stuck in that position, to get addicted to her ex that much for so long. I just couldn’t understand why she would let herself be drowned in her pool of tears knowing that it’s impossible she would get back with her ex. It’s foolish.
After reading the book, slowly I realized that I was once stuck in that position. Man, it reminded me how awful it felt.
It was not after the relationship, it was during it and it was much more deadly. Realizing that I was once addicted to my ex and hoping a lot from him and became too dependent on him disgusted me. Shit! The addiction wasn’t as long as few months, it was just for weeks and I believed that I realized it was sort of feeling-kind-of-quick-sand and I finally have outgrown from it.
I thank God that I did not hit rock bottom that’s why when I broke up I find it quite easy to bounce back and felt at ease to go out with anyone again. It was as if I knew about this book before I even read it. I did not want to be like Rebecca hell no, I never wanted to be the one controlled, attached and manipulated in the relationship. Never.
Okay, so I admitted I was once addicted to my ex but that does not mean I can not live without them during that time, it was just those thoughts of whether they were thinking of me, what they are doing and everything about them was in my head every single second. I wasn’t thinking about myself at that time, I was thinking about him only. I can live, but with him in mind.
After reading the book, I realized too I am a very strong person. Stronger than the girl in this book. Rebecca. I knew that I was addicted to my ex, I wasn’t in denial and I find ways. I hang with people to occupy myself and to stop myself from thinking about my ex every second-everyday. And it was blissfully brilliant of me. I get out from my addiction without anyone ever knowing I was in one. Phew!
Now, I realize I’m stronger than any man I’ve ever met. No one could melt me as much as I could. I totally understand it. If I would fall in love, it is because I let it happen, not anyone else. If I would say no, it would mean no. if I would say yes it should mean yes.
But then again,
Love is so unpredictable that sometimes I don’t understand what I’m doing, for what and how it happened. Sometimes I just got to follow the flow, and it kills me if it doesn’t go my way. I wish a nice guy would just pop in my life without me worrying and thinking too much. Oh dear, this book has definitely made me thinking.
