Reading Journal 2

I decided to reread a book that I read a couple of years ago. The tittle is More Than Lust, by L.L McLane. It is about a teenage boy who feels awkward in his own skin. He compares himself to his stepbrother a lot. The step brother is one of those smooth guys that never trips up his words when talking to the ladies. The main character finally finds a girl that is interested in him. He had dated someone once before, but she hurt him by leaving him for his step brother. The main character is different than a lot of people his age. The story feels like it filled with a lot of hidden symbols, and growth. McLane, does a great job at showing that the main character is in fact human. He gets built up, but then when he gets to built up, he is brought back down again. The story seems to work a lot like the way life works. His life goes well with having a girlfriend, but then he loses sight of what is important.
