When I'm reading, I always like books that have a storyline or a character that you can imagine in your life. It makes the book seem more realistic, as if it could really happen. Stories like Swim by Jennifer Weiner, where the main character Ruthie learns that sometimes you have to not let what's past affect your future.
In the beginning of the book, Ruthie is continuously reminded of her past. The problem is, she remembers her past so vividly, but she doesn't want to. She hates her past, but she is forced to explain it everyday. She finally learns that she needs to forget about it, and not think about it. So even when her ex-coworker that betrayed her calls offering a job, she denies it and hangs up. She finds that when she pays more attention to the future, part of her thinks that its was the weirdest thing. Even when she meets someone new, he reminds her of someone else from her past, but she decides to ignore it.
After she decides to move on, she is confronted by another girl. When she was younger, she was in a really bad car accident that killed her parents.
