The theme surprises me and I love it. I love everything about this book. I can also relate to this because there is this person who keeps coming back even though I don't want them to come back. He kept hurting me and I just wanted him to leave my life forever and never come back. I was always afraid he would come back. I tried so hard to fight him to leave but he always came back. I would walk away from the people he was around and just leave the place he would always be, but he would find a way back into my life no matter what I did to make him leave. I learned that it will take time but we always have to fight that person until they get tired of us and eventually leave, we just have to be strong and keep fighting..
