I've read a little farther into the book so far and nothing too intense has happened yet. I've noticed that Alice feels abandoned by Harry because he never answers her calls and they don't talk much anymore. Alice has been seeing Hugo a little more and it seems like a bit of a spark, Even though she's still dating harry. This reminds me of myself with my late girlfriend. It was different because instead of feeling abandoned by her I felt overwhelmed and found myself sparking relationships with other girls often leading to a one nightstand with a different girl each time, followed by a fight with my girlfriend and a few days loaded with drinks and buds to ease the feelings of remorse for what I'd done. Just the same this happened multiple times through out the last 8 months or so of our relationship. This book reminds me a lot of my recent life. I'm really liking it.

The book I'm reading is called The Wrecking Ball. It follows the lives of four kids named Alice, Rose, Hugo, and Harry. The main character is Alice who is dating Harry and used to date Hugo. Rose is her best friend and hugo is still a close friend of hers. I am about 75 pages in and so far nothing very interesting has happened. It has been about a week and it mostly talks about the parties they each go to every night and the mornings when they wake up hung over from drinking and sniffing coke. At one of the parties that Alice and Harry are both at they take acid and everyone thinks they see Harry's deceased father who made millions as Britain's largest coke dealer. I think this is going to come back as an important part of the book because it couldn't have just been a halucination if everyone around saw him. Thats just not they way acid works. i am really enjoying the book so far, it is something I can relate to.
