Free Reading and Nervous Conditions

In the last few weeks, I did not have much time to free read because I spent my time working hard on my research paper. Along with reading Nervous Conditions, I have continued to read Someone Like You. I am about half way into this book and I have really liked it. It has been a long time since writing a post about this book, so the last time I responded to this book was when I was first starting to read it. A lot has happened in the story since the beginning. Scarlett is now pregnant with Michael's baby. As I said in my last response, Michael died in a motorcycle crash at the beginning of the book. Halley has grown to like Macon, and their relationship is starting to get pretty serious. It is hard for Scarlett to watch Halley fall in love because she still remembers how much she loved Michael. Also, Halley is not around Scarlett as much as she used to be because she spends a lot of her time with Macon. There is also a lot of conflict between Halley and her parents because her parents do not like Macon. They actually end up prohibiting her from seeing him, but this does not work. They continue to see each other. The whole school knows about Scarlett's pregnancy and she is trying to avoid the nasty things people are saying about her.
 I predict that Scarlett will have her baby soon and this might make her friendship with Halley a bit different. This will also change Scarlett's life. I also think that Halley will grow apart from Scarlett because she will be wrapped up in her relationship with Macon. Macon and Halley will continue to see each other no matter how much Halley's parents try to keep them apart. They seem to truly love each other. Although, Macon does seem to be strange. He also keeps a lot of secrets to himself. I think this may actually eventually bother Halley, and that could get in the way of their relationship. I also think Scarlett will eventually start to date again, if she can ever get over Michael. I look forward to seeing if my predictions actually happen.
