Have you ever had a book rip you’re heart in two? And you know if you discussed this with any sane non booking loving person all they’d say is the characters aren't real and they wouldn't understand how much your heart hurts at that exact moment. I could compare it to having your heartbroken by a loved one but in some part of your mind you know it’s not actually happening to you, but the pain doesn't fade away. At least not until you pick up your next commitment and lose yourself all over again in another time, in another place.

Call me a hopeless romantic but I do believe there is someone out there for everyone. True love; I've read about it all my life. I've even seen movies where the happy ending always finds its way to light. Because that’s what love is light, it helps you fight the darkness that would otherwise consume you, if only we could bottle it up and take a sip when we have those offal days that only real life can bring. Maybe that’s why I like books so much. I can lose myself in a place and forget about the world around me even if everything around me is crumbling.

I had a friend recently tell me that she doesn't believe in one true love. She said you have to work to love. You must consistently put effort in a relationship to make it work; love doesn't concur all. I didn't tell she was wrong to her face because in some ways I believe she’s right. When you get married you have to work on staying on the same path, it must always be on your mind what your other half wants and how your choices will affect them. With that being said I’m not giving up hope for my one true love. That on person who consumes your ever thought or never stops giving you butterfly’s. There has to be a person out there for everyone, a person who sets your skin on fire with just a touch or who can calm you when you get a little crazy. I don’t think we’re only meant for one person because I think every relationship that touches us has a way of getting us to wear we’re meant to be. But I still believe that all-consuming love exists. Maybe I’m naive, but that’s how I want to feel when I eventually settle down and get married, and I don’t think anyone should settle for less.

Alright, that’s my rant. It’s taken me four months to find something worth talking about and sharing with all of you. Okay that’s a lie, I've had things to talk about, opinions to share, but with school and work it’s been hard to find anytime to breathe let alone write down my thoughts and share them with you. So this post is to the start of getting back to Book Sense, and preparing to deliver all my lovely opinions to the world.

Releasing Kate by D. Kelly is what brought on my heart ache if you wanted to join in the emotional roller coaster.  

To all my fellow hopeless romantics. I believe it’s really out there,
