Would You, Part Two

I read more of Would You by Marthe Jocelyn last week. Where did I leave off telling you? Oh, right. The part about how Natalie goes in to visit her sister and tell her things that are going on with her life. Well, until the end of the book, this is pretty much a daily ritual. Soon enough, she is even bathing Claire's feet. Although, just because Claire's life is pretty much put on hold, Natalie's can't be. The whole town knows about Claire, and they are constantly getting food and people coming into their house. Natalie isn't a big fan of this, as she makes known to the readers. The story is told in first person from Natalie's point of view. Actually, Nat hasn't been a big fan of most things lately...

As soon as Nat's boss at the Y hears about the accident, he calls Nat and tells her that if she needs to put her duties as a life guard aside for a couple of weeks, it is totally understandable. I believe that this character was a very nice and realistic addition to this book. Natalie feels like to keep things in order, she must have some things from her old life be the same. Although, she can make a few differences...After one of her shifts at the Y, her crush Zach, shows up. In the middle of the hug, she turns and kisses him, something she's been waiting to do for quite a while! Whenever they talk, for the rest of the book, it's total flirtation!


Now Nat needs to snap back into reality. Claire's in the hospital. She's in a coma. You can tell that Natalie is pretty much tortured. She keeps having dreams about Claire. Soon, Claire's nurses tell the family that they are going to preform an E.E.G. This means that they will see if there is anything going on in Claire's mind. The results are life changing:

Claire is dead.

But her heart is still beating.

I'll finish it this week. For now,

Jocelyn.
