Blog #5: Describe a feeling or emotion that you experienced when you were reading this book. What caused this feeling?

I felt frustrated when I was reading this book. I think this feeling was caused because of the way characters acted and reacted with one another. It frustrated me because I felt like they could have done something different to make the situation or interaction better. For example when Rhiannon calls Justin when A is inhabiting the body of a Beyoncé look-a-like to see if he is faithful. They meet and it turns out that Justin is being faithful to Rhiannon. This does not bode well for A and Rhiannon's relationship. It got me wondering why they even called him in the first place. I mean, they had to have had some idea of the effect it could have on their relationship. It frustrated me because I know that that was the intention of the author because without the reader having any emotional reactions in the book it won't sell. Nobody wants to read a book that doesn't cause any emotions, it's uninteresting and boring. I almost like that I feel frustrated because that means that the author achieved their goal in creating an interesting book full of emotion. Suspense, humour, sadness, depression and many other emotions are what make novels great.
