A new book

Why is it that most young adult books usually have their main character as a teenage girl who is getting swept off of her feet by a guy. Let's get real, a lot of us get swept up into that sometimes, but that's not what I want to read about. It is so hard to find a book about a college student, and even more rare to find a book about a college student who isn't in love, or falling in love.  Dumb.

I want to read a book about a girl who goes to college with a boyfriend and gets her heart broken. And then she heals. A book where she's dumb and makes mistakes. A book where there's heartache and pain, because that's life. A book where it's okay that's she's single, because she's not alone and she's not lonely. In a book like this, the girl doesn't need to be with a guy to feel accepted and loved because she has so much love flowing to her from other people. She has friends who love her and most importantly a God loves her. Now I know what you're thinking, where's the fun in that. Where's the adventure. But I'm sure that if there was such a book there would be plenty of adventure along the way. I want a book that's real, and encouraging, for all those girls in college who think they're alone. I want them to know that there is so much more to life than the romance of a man. These girls should know that they shouldn't be sitting around waiting for their husband to come along, but living life and enjoying every second of it; whether they're "alone" or not.
