Love, Unscripted is written in 3 timelines. You have the moment where the main character Nick meets Ellie the night of the presidential election of 20Love, Unscripted is written in 3 timelines. You have the moment where the main character Nick meets Ellie the night of the presidential election of 2008. Then you have the after the part where their relationship is over and Nick is trying to figure how everything went wrong. The third part (The Intermission) is written more in depth of their relationship and how some things were in Nick's mind.
This book deals with relationships, friendships, and trying to figure life out when it seems that everything is falling apart.
I felt the book was a little slow. I had a hard time investing my time in this story so it took a little longer to finish. I felt like Nick was a little annoying with his choices. The movie references I didnt get because I have never watched any of the movies. With that aside. I did find Nick and his sister funny at times. I did like The Intermission parts of the story where you get to know the characters a little bit better. Unfortunately that was the shortest part of the story.

After overdosing on some pills Valentine's mom decides a mom and daughter trip to go traveling through the Thai Mountains would do her daughter some good.
This book deals with a lot of issues such as grief, animal cruelty, rape, murder and even global issues. Even though this book is a work of fiction there is a lot of nonfiction through out the book such as kid soldiers and the government. I liked how informative it was along with its poetic words in the story. I also enjoyed the mother daughter relationship in this book.
