Today I'm doing a book review of my friend Melissa's book the willful kind
Hey howdy a trainwreck. How are you today?
I am the glorious train wreck mom this is your first time here welcome aboard train wreck glad to have you here
It's writer Wednesday, and I've got friends
Who are writers, and they have books out so I review their books because I like my friends
And I want them to sell lots of books so that they can live and be happy and all that fun stuff so
Good
Read my friend Melissa Waldo's book the willful current
this is a project that she had started in college and
It just was one of those things NaNoWriMo was coming around and I was like come on publish book get a book
Yeah, I know you got a book in you and I urged her and poked and prodded her and pretty much
Strong-armed her into finishing this and and publishing it so yay for a dear friends, right?
so
I'll give you a little bit of a background on the book
And I'll give you a little bit of background on Melissa because she's pretty amazing chick when he gets to know her she's super quiet
But she's amazing so okay
So we have Elsa is a spirited college freshman trying to make sense of adulthood while dating a college professor
Her need to feel free and childish causes problems in her relationships with her boyfriend best friend and parents
She meets a new professor Phillip, white and then everything starts to change he doesn't hide their relationship
He doesn't fight with her is this real love can Phillip break through else's stubbornness that all being said
It was really hard for me to not
imagine Melissa in this role of Elsa because
Melissa severac like I said very quiet very reserved
Fairly guarded person, and I totally respect that she once you get through that though. She is super amazing
sensitive
Intelligent caring she was my son's preschool teacher and honestly
it's one of the few regrets that I have of quitting my job and having to take him out of the daycare as well because
He no longer gets to have her as an amazing human being as a teacher
And I never I don't get to talk to her nearly as much as I used to and I miss her so much that
being said let's talk about Elsa and
the the
Train wreck that she is because in all honesty. This child is a 20 year old train wreck I
saw a lot of Daria if you're a 90s Brett and
You remember Daria very much like if you could figure Daria in
college
This is this is Elsa very snarky very sarcastic very cool very aloof very like
Whatever feelings okay? Yeah sure whatevs and
Yet, you know
There's something else there
and I think she gets herself trapped in a relationship where she thinks she has to be committed and
Yet, she really doesn't have to be so
It's kind of interesting seeing this dichotomy of I want to be a kid. I want to be in kroner
I want to be a kid. I want to be in kroner. I want commitment. I don't want commitment. I don't want marriage
I want a baby. Yeah, all this stuff going on and in her time of this. She's still living at home
Which yeah apparently that's a thing that doesn't happen work around here. I didn't move out of my mom's house till I was 22
Yeah, yeah 22 21 22, so you know?
But she's still living it, and she's having this relationship with this older guy and her parents are okay with it
And I'm just thinking there ain't no way I would have been able to bring a dude home
There was 16 years older than me under my mom's roof and have her a proof of anything
Never would have happened. Never would have happened okay
Now her best friend
Her best friend good lord that job. She's both
She's pretty much Sundance Kid two else's Butch Cassidy. They go everywhere together. They do everything together
Even when Elsa is out on dates wherever
Elsa goes Raya goes to and I mean these two peas in a pod Elsa and Ryan's relationship
unfortunately, you know what's gonna have to change because
They've been through so much already middle school and high school
It's a miracle that they're still friends college is gonna change them College is gonna
Have its ups and downs on their relationship and guys are gonna have an ups and down on their relationship as well
You know it's not always gonna be the dynamic duo. It's not always gonna be a terrific threesome
What I just think eventually
The relationship is going to change
Because it's inevitable
Yeah as Elsa's
Exploring her options riah's eventually going to do the same thing so you're not always going to have the dynamic duo
let alone the the
Terrific trio of
You know Riya Elsa and whoever which one of them is dating and it seems to be a theme that goes on is that?
Maybe they're both a little insecure
I'd need each other for that support enough you want to find out you should read the book the other
Player in this is the professor boyfriend who is 16 years of
Elsa's senior Heather
Thurman, what's she doing? I'm
Like seriously could you not find?
Anyone your own age that?
aside
Dude, she's a student
Okay, and the other thing is it's not fair of Thurman to put so much on
Elsa she's 20 she's just learning to live her life and
Thurman's over here like he wants total commitment. He wants marriage and all this she doesn't like marriage
She just wants a baby come on man seriously
You don't need marriage for a baby most people don't even need love for a baby have you seen the world?
But here they are in this weird
Relationship where he barely acknowledges her barely talks to her they don't do anything
They don't go on dates because he's so paranoid about his job and his profession and that someone might see them out in public
Holy Wow, but that winds up being his undoing
You'll see you'll see you got to read the book guys seriously. There's this other character Philip white he's another professor and
He falls for Elsa pretty darn quick like
creepily quick and
I get where Elsa's craving
Crazy, and he's a little bit closer to her age. He's only like six years older than her but
He falls pretty hard for this person who pretty much treats him like crap
She's fairly mean to him. She's
Really like I said. She's very casual about the whole thing
So it's really odd to try to figure out where her relationship
where her feelings are for him until
About the end of the book which I'm not gonna tell you anything okay?
You're gonna have to read the book and I got it as you can tell I got my copy on
Amazon in eBook it is available in both eBook and paperback
I firmly suggest get this book. It's about 200 pages
estimated reading times about 4 hours
I mean seriously if you've got a weekend sit your butt down and read a book
It's a good way to go so check out my friend book. I really do it did enjoy it
She is an amazing author her dialogue was spot-on it was really easy to read
Dynamically with the characters these really did feel like real people that I know
Because I do know people who are ready to rush into
Relationships, I do know people who are like hey
commitment
Yeah, I'm gonna go over here. You know and chicks are like that, too
It's not just a guy thing okay. Sometimes chicks are just like
No
Thanks. I just kind of want to do my thing Thanks
Okay, so I definitely suggest checking out the willful kind by Melissa Waldo like I said it is on Amazon
Melissa also has another book called curried
Okay, and Caribe is poems about her long distance relationship with her now fiance honeyed who?
Hopefully everything goes well, and he should be here soon so excited to meet him Melissa
