I'm reading the book "Sweethearts" by Sara Zarr. This book is about a girl, Jennifer Harris, and her Sweetheart, Cameron Quick. These two love birds where outcasts or "Total geeks", as some would say.Cameron was Jennifer's only friend, as Jennifer was to Cameron. Suddenly Cameron dissapears unexpectedly. Jennifer fears she as lost the only person who understands her and ever will undestand her. When Jennifer gets to highschool, she is a totally different person. She is popular and she is now known as "Jenna". She is now the total opposite of "Jennifer".
This change to er life has gotten Jennifer/Jenna to find her "true self". Is this who she really is? Why did her friend dissapearing make her so happy? She claims that Cameron was her one and only best friend and that he's the only one who understands her but maybe she finally understands herself and who she wants to be. When Cameron reappears, they both remember the memories of their past and how they both changed and took different paths. Was this what they needed? A little time appart?
Friendship can bring back strong memories with how powerful it is. This story is mostly about how much people can change when they spend time apart. This has to do with the different people you talk to, the environment you are in and who is around you. But can you really change that much...that your "only friend" cant really recognize you?
Memories and Friendship have a strong bond. The most memories are made during relationships. So why, you ask, did this time spent apart change to people so much, and the answer is I absolutly have no idea! People grow apart and sometimes things happen for a reason, so maybe their friendship wasnt meant to be, or maybe was therefore why they met again. :)
