Contents Under Pressure

I just finished reading the book "Contents Under Pressure" by Lara M. Zeiss. The book was actually very intresting book. What made it so intresting was how the author wrote the book, and how she came up with the characters personalities. Not every character in the book was exactly the same, like the main character, Lucy, she's kind of like the outcast and she just cares too much about what people think, and her family memebers are just there to support Lucy and the things she goes through.

I thought that the book was just explaining the things that a girl feels pressured about in her life. Lucy has to deal with guys, dating, love, family and she just gets too overwhelmed by what she has to do in order to have everything running smoothly. But while i was reading the book, and coming up with this idea, i thought why does she have to have everything turn out perfect? Not everything in life is gonna turn out exactly the way you want it to be. Everything just somehow always happens and if it does, then i guess that's how it should be and you shouldn't change it...well if it's that bad of a situation you could try and fix it, but if it's just a few tiny problems, i don't think you should fix it. Not everything's going to be perfect. And you can also learn from your mistakes.

The theme that I came up with about this book was that everyone, girls, guys, adults can feel pressure any time when they don't know what to do and that they shouldn't have to do anything that they don't want to.
