Maybe-by Brent Runyon

          The book that I have read is a book called Maybe. Maybe is written by the author Brent Runyon, the genre of this book is teen-fiction.

          

          Maybe, is about a boy named Brian who has just moved with his mother and father to a new neighborhood. He goes through the struggles of having to go to a new school, trying to make new friends, and trying to lose his virginity. The relationship with him and his parents is something he is not proud of, and he says it all went bad due to his brothers abscense. In fact he does make friends, although they may not be friends that are loyal to him. Personally my favorite part of this book is when Brian has a talk with his brother in his car, because it allows Brian to get everything out. Also because he finally realizes how much he loves his brother and misses him dearly. 

          The main character, Brian is lonely. This is shown on page 171 of the book where it says “I’m all alone. I don’t have anyone and I don’t care about anyone and no one cares about me.” This shows that Brian feels as if no one cares for and that he is not important. Throughout the book you can see how he truly feels when it comes to his importance.

          Personally, I truly liked this book because it can relate to many teenagers out there in the world. It goes from relating to the hardships of being a teenager in school to feelings that you go through in life. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. Mostly because it’s a book that many people can relate to, and also a book that people very much will enjoy. The theme of this book would have to be is that ‘it may feel as if you are the only one alone, but there are people out there who feel exactly the same.’
