happily ever after?

"And they all lived happily ever after" is that what makes books fiction? Happily ever afters are the one things everyone wants out of their lives. I think they're actually quite boring. I'll have to say Kathryn Williams, The Lost Summer, Alice Sebold, The lovely bones, Cecily Von Zeiger, gossip girl series, Cheryl Renee Herbsman, Breathing, are my favorite authors. They don't right about 'happily ever afters' they right about hope. Hope can bond people together. Hope is honestly the thing we're actually looking for when we read! We need that little bit of faith to keep us going. If all you read was books about princesses, and people who got everything they want out of life, that's what you'd expect, and lets face it not everybody gets their 'happily ever afters'! These women are so very talented, because they can turn fiction into life. They just don't write fantasies, love stories, and fairy tales, they write real literature. Non-fiction has to be the best over all because it's endings aren't predictable like fiction! Cecily has her own twist that keeps you want to keep reading in the series, but in the mix of this she's also written a great mystery. Alice's book is just as unpredictable as any I've ever read. The lovely bones is unique in itself and Alice just compels in with a magical ending that gives you faith, and gives you a love and understanding of life that I've never experienced before. Kathryn wrote a roller coaster ride book, with a breath taking, as well as unexpected ending! Cheryl just wrote a book that changed my life completely. My reaction is unspeakable, honestly one of the best. However I have not read every book out there. As much as I love reading I never will ever read every book out there. So there is probably some books that will also inspire me emotionally as well as mentally. My dream is to work with one of these indescribable authors myself.
