Thoughts on Smart Girls Get What They Want

I'm currently in the middle of the book "Smart Girls Get What They Want" and let me just say how amazing I personally think the book is! It makes you squeal, smile like crazy, it makes you want to keep reading, and it's just so entertaining. Gigi is running for student rep because she wants to save the other classes like the jewelry class, driver's ed, and others as well. She also meets this new guy in her school named Will, and she slowly starts to develop feelings towards him. But when she finds out he has a girlfriend, she realizes that it was too good to be true. That doesn't mean that they stopped talking or whatever, as a matter of fact, he told her that he was thinking of breaking up with his girlfriend because of the long distance situation. Oh, and did I mention he was running for student rep as well? Gigi has a really hard time with him because of the whole situation with his girlfriend, and because he stood her up on the date she was supposed to take Will and his little brother to the aquarium. I'll tell you more in my next blogs to come!

I feel like one of the most important conflicts in the book is person vs. person. Since Gigi is running for student rep, she's facing those other candidates and wants to win, so Gigi will do whatever it takes to make her point and become student rep, and that will be a little difficult but she is going to try her hardest. Another struggle that she is going through is with Will because he is running for student rep as well, and she kind of likes him. This might be another conflict because maybe she will start to like him even more and consider dropping out of the election.  Maybe if one of them wins, they will stop talking to one another, or maybe they will end up both dropping out together. Then one conflict can lead to another, then to another, and everything is going to change.
