Girlfriend Fiction #16
A Letter from Luisa
...it all started with one tiny little insignificant thing - Jet Lucas.
Have you ever wanted someone so badly that you'd do anything to be with them? Luisa has and now she's in big trouble. She's been suspended from school for single-handedly turning the Motherwell High Twilight Fete into a war zone - complete with explosions, flying bodies, mutilated teddies and burning dogs.
Luisa can't understand how she lost control. Normally home runs like clockwork, and school's all right if she ignores the bullies and the incredibly annoying Danny Baldassarro. Okay, she doesn't have time to write songs anymore but you have to make sacrifices, right?
A blackly funny tale of life, love and learning to let go.

Normally I wouldn't like a book like this but it was shown in a different light than from other many novels with this kind of relationship in it.
A Letter from Luisa is a about a 16 year old girl named Luisa Linley who is writing a letter to someone named M about how she has gotten herself suspended from school for many reasons that we only get a quick glimpse of. So as the story goes Luisa tells M of the events leading up to her suspension and how it resulted in that.
The story begins with Luisa at school called Motherwell High where she is in Year 10. We find out herself and her father are really into music and has come up with an idea to get Jet Lucas' attention. Jet is the guy that all the girls are all infaturated with with Luisa being one of them. Jet is into music too and plays guitar and is performing at the function they are having at the school. Luisa convinces him to let her be his music assitant by setting the mic and music right and even bringing in her dad's music equipment to use for the performance.
Now Luisa and Jet's relationship was the highlight of the book for me. Not because they were perfect for each other and soulmates but because of Luisa obession with him and how she is blinded by what kind of person he really is. Even after finding out he is unfaithful to her she is hellbent on "winning" him back because she thinks they are perfect for each other. Now your probably wondering why would I like that? Because the novels shows that the way Luisa is thinking and acting is not normal or good. Funnily enough there are characters in other bookswho think and act like this but the authors of those books show it as a positive and normal thing. There are also male characters in other books who are a lot like Jet who are seen as loving and caring and you know what some of those charcaters arev even worse than Jet.
Luisa's best friend Meko notices Luisa's behaviour and even points out Jet isn't a nice guy as well as other characters who are concerned for her with how she starts to act around other people as a result.
I swear if I ever see Rowena Mohr she is getting a big ass high-five from me as well as praise for showing how unhealthy Luisa's obsession with Jet is. Reason it is only getting a 3.5 is because as much as I love what it covered it wasn't completely and absolutely amazing for me that I am obsessing over it like Luisa over Jet.

Wow.. another wonderful addition to the Girlfriend Fiction. I really love their books. AND this book was a total nut job. I swear tht guy Jet or whatever his name total DOUCHE BAG!! But the storyline was good but the plot was kindda messed up in some bits. I love Luisa< pretty name and Danny and who can forget Meko. Wow mann I really wanted to read them kissing Danny + Luisa. But its soo obvious their gonna hook up. He saved her life. XD
