Love Story pg 1-100

Love Story by Erich Segal is a really good book so far. It's kind of a cute story, but it is different than most love stories that you would hear of. Oliver is the man who is tough and also doesn't take anything that's tossed at him. He plays hockey for Harvard, and he likes to fight every chance he gets in the hockey game. Jennifer is not the kind of girl who everyone would be around because she is also tough, and is also like Oliver in a way. She goes to school at Radcliffe and Harvard is their rivalry. The only thing I don't get about this book is how both of them seem to hate each other, but then they're dating. They aren't the kind of people who would listen to someone if they said they were a horrible person and that they needed to change. They would just let it blow over. When Oliver first told Jennifer that he loved her, I thought it was really weird how she just said "I would say you were full of shit," and then she hung up. I seriously thought they were done with, because most relationships aren't that way. In fact, I don't know anyone or haven't heard anyone do this, or have dealt with this kind of a relationship. When Oliver sees Jennifer it went back to normal, which confused me for awhile, because I had thought it was over for the both of them. I guess that is just how some people like to go into relationships, they like to be in control, be the boss. It starts to change into a love story, where Oliver's father is wanting him to wait, and let things fall in place before he gets settled. He wants Oliver to finish off law school before he moves on and starts his new life. I can't wait to read more and find out what will happen next.
