A successful attorney, yet thirty, who lives in New York and who had a happy relationship with her boyfriend.. and who was proposed by this guy.. Andrew..
Seems like she couldn't ask for more from life.
Well.. While other people may think that she was enviable, Emily Haxby thought that she perhaps, deserved none of them.
Rather, she got all the confusions with her relationship and with the question mark of who she really is.
Maybe those were all superficial, she would have thought.
Carl.. is Emily's boss and who would love to give her a sexual harassment.
Mason.. is Emily's co-worker.. he might be a hottie, like a roasted chicken that skin is brushed off with glossy melted butter and is just cooked under screaming hot temperature in the oven.
But underneath that silky seducing skin, the chunky meatiness was all filled up with his desire to have a casual sex with Emily..
Emily's father.. who Emily had a lack of communication and distant relationship with..
Emily's mother.. who Emily thought, had been fading from her memory for so long.. but in the deeper root.. who Emily always has missed.. wanted to receive an unconditional love from.. and the kind of love that is irreplaceable.
Her grandpa Jack, got Alzheimer disease but who always put Emily first. no matter what.
One day, Emily talked with her friend, Katie.
Katie has been married to her husband for several years, and she told Emily that their marriage was all about timing.. that her husband showed up in Katie's life at the right moment at the right time.
But what Emily asked was.. 'would you give him your kidney'.
Katie was hesitant to give an answer.. and she didn't answer it all..
Meanwhile.. Emily started to find herself.. how she incredibly got to miss Andrew.. his smile.. his habits.. just the littlest things that Emily only can recognize.. the times and memories they had shared with..
All those overwhelming feeling of missing Andrew has grew up uncontrollably, like a big snow ball.. and was throwing at Emily's heart..
Emily finally realized that she would have given her kidney to Andrew if he needed it.
When Emily actually e-mailed him and started to show her sincereness.. she realized that Andrew has moved on.. and Andrew responded back that just leave him alone.
Lastly.. she realized this...
'Maybe sometimes you have to do what's scariest in order to get where you need to be.'
So she went to Andrew's place and confessed that she actually was a mess and wasn't ready to accept his proposal at that time.. and she insisted that she's different now.
Finally, their relationship got restored.. and grandpa Jack died from the disease.
Although i was little disappointed at the ending that Emily got back to Andrew.. eventually.. but her book was still very readable and made me laugh.
