Beautiful Disaster
Sin duda alguna la gran estrella del libro es KARA , la compañera de cuarto de Abby . Es algo asì como la voz en off de la mayorìa de los acontecimientos . Me hizo reir , me hizo reflexionar y por momentos me dieron ganas de aplaudirla . La voz de la cordura en un libro lleno de enfermos mentales y mujeres histèricas . (Porque no , NO ESTA BIEN un que un hombre -un boxeador encima!!- te rompa toda la casa porque no le das bola pero TAMPOCO esta bien darle esperanzas despuès de eso . SI ES NO ES NO , no MAÑANA VEMOS)Lean algunos de sus comentarios estelares :
I heard a knock at the door, and America burst through it. She pul ed the ear buds from my ears and then fel into my desk chair.
“Mornin’ sunshine. You look like hel ,” she said, blowing a pink bubble from her mouth and then letting it smack loudly as it popped.
“Shut UP, America!” Kara said from under her covers.

“She was kidding,” I said.
Kara nodded with indifference, and then looked down to the mess of books on her bedspread.
“I guess I’l get a shower,” I said, grabbing a towel and my shower bag.
“I’l alert the media,” Kara deadpanned, keeping her head down.

America walked in and plopped onto my bed, arms crossed. “Can you believe this shit? How much are we paying and we can’t even take a hot shower?” Kara sighed. “Stop whining. Why don’t you just stay with your boyfriend? Haven’t you been staying with him, anyway?”

America shrugged. “Does it matter? C’mon!”
“I don’t want to run into Travis. It’l be weird.”
“Do you ever listen to me? He’s not there, he’s at the Red. Come on!” she whined, tugging on my arm.
I stood up with mild resistance as she pul ed me from the room.
“Final y,” Kara said.

I fel against my pil ow as Kara rummaged though through her closet. “What are you so happy about?” she grumbled.
“Nothing,” I sighed.
“Do you know what co-dependency is, Abby? Your boyfriend is a prime example, which is creepy considering he went from having no respect for women at al to thinking he needs you to breathe.”
“Maybe he does,” I said, refusing to let her spoil my mood.
“Don’t you wonder why that is? I mean…he’s been through half the girls at this school. Why you?”
“He says I’m different.”
“Sure he does. But why?”
“Why do you care?” I snapped.
“It’s dangerous to need someone that much. You’re trying to save him and he’s hoping you can. You two are a disaster.”
(Y creo que eso ùltimo es lo màs -y lo ùnico- sensato que se dice en toooodo el libro)
