There's a reason why i hate reading romance novels.
and it has always been the same reason - bad & sad endings.
that's why i stopped reading them for awhile.

A couple of weeks back when i visited a bookstore,
came across a book lying alone on the half empty shelf.
being curious, i picked it up, and had a look at the cover page.
The title wasn't catchy at all.
Another one of those typical romance novel.
i tossed it back onto the shelf and went off.

A week later, i revisited the same bookstore again.
That same book was lying at the same position as i had left it last week.
"Din't the shopkeeper tidy the place?" i thought to myself.
I picked it up and decided to place it nicely on the shelf.
Being curious, i began to read the synopsis at the back of the book.

"not bad" i thought to myself.
However based on previous experiences, nice synopsis does not equate to nice ending.
Despite having a bad feeling about the ending, i bought the book.

The first couple of chapters were nice - as usual.
Things began to change in the third chapter.
I realized that it is not a bright & cheerful novel as described in the synopsis.
Got cheated once again.
This book cost me freaking $15.90!
But i really hate sad romance novels.

i stare down at the book now, pondering if i should continue reading, or toss them into my cupboard like i did with all the other half-read books.
